Kelly Sandel

Kelly was born in Houston, TX and grew up in Rosenberg, TX. He studied at Texas A&M and after graduating he began to work in the production department of Exxon, primarily in the Gulf Coast as well as in Papua New Guinea. 

After 37 years at Exxon, Kelly retired in 2017 and started part-time work at the Methodist Church in Bellville, TX (where he is a lifetime member) and Serenity Retreat Bellville where he oversees the maintenance and groundskeeping. 

Kelly hopes that everyone who steps onto the Serenity Retreat Bellville property enjoys all the beauty it has to offer. He takes great pride in keeping it looking nice and ready for our guests.
