Bill D Cook – Candidate for At Large Position

I am a lifelong resident of Manvel, Texas and have been in fellowship with the Believers at Manvel Bible Chapel, including my Mother, Hallie Booth, since my teens. Over the years I have served in various capacities involved in Sunday School, Teenage and Young Adult Groups, Outreach Ministry, Bible Study and as Treasurer. I have also served at Sandy Creek Bible Camp as Summer Camp Program Director, Counselor and Cabin Leader for Youth Camps and Young Adult Camps and Retreats. I have two adult daughters, Leslie and Elizabeth, both having careers in Education.

I attended GGCTD #11, where I sat at the Table of Luke. I served as a Prayer CHA on GGCTD #12, and was to serve as a Palanca CHA on #13, when COVID interrupted those plans. When plans were restarted, I had a conflict for the weekend and was unable to serve. The Lord allowed me to Serve as Dining CHA on SCTD #3, and in various roles on SCTD #4 thru #10, including Prayer, Chapel, Dorm, Mobile, Rollista and Inside Head CHA. Most recently, I have served the community as Treasurer CHA. I have also served in the SET Pescadore community and in the Central Texas Camino de Christo community.

For over 25 years, I have Ministered to and Mentored Juveniles and Adults in our County Juvenile Detention Center, Boot Camp, Texas Youth Commission, County Jails and Texas Department of Criminal Justice. This has been my passion and I’m thankful the Lord has allowed me to be involved in so many lives. To support that ministry, I have served the business world in accounting, auditing and finance positions in several companies. Currently, I am employed with a small refining company that I have been associated with since the early 1980’s.

Thank you for considering me for the opportunity to continue to serve the SCTD Community as an At Large Board Member. I am willing to serve our community in any way possible. I am committed to being a part of this great community and ministry. Please let me know if I can answer any questions or assist in any way.

William “Bill” Herasymiuk – Candidate for At Large Position

My wife Susan and I attend, worship, and serve at Second Baptist 1463 Campus in Katy TX.  I attended SETTD #15 where I sat at the table of Mark.  I have been blessed to serve 26 weekends in 3 communities and been a CHA in most of the rolls (finally getting to be a Table Cha on SCTD #10) and have also served as the Rector Spouse CHA on SETTD #27 . We are the parents of 6 children and 4 grandchildren, of which, 5 of the 6 of the children have attended Tres Dias and /or Pescador weekends.  We have been at Second Baptist since 2011 and I was honored to be selected and ordained a Deacon in 2018 with the church and now am on sabbatical for one year.  I am active in men’s small group, couple’s bible study with Susan and assist with in-reach activities/VBS and Church Summer Camps alone and more often with my family.

I was born again in 2011, had a believer’s baptism that year and began a more intentional and spirit led life serving in Single Parent and Children ministries.  I saw that same spirit in 2014 when I went through my Tres Dias weekend and that’s why I love this ministry and what it does for the body of believers.  In Dec 2023 I was honored to be elected to fill a partial term as an SCTD At Large Board Member and renominated and elected to serve a full term in 2025.  I am also a part of the Policy Committee and am excited about the work we are doing there to clarify and make the necessary changes for the benefit of our community.

I graduated from De La Salle Catholic High School before attending University of New Orleans (UNO) where I studied Pre-Med and Mechanical Engineering.  I have served on the Board of American Society for Non-Destructive Testing (ASNT) and various committee positions for the American Petroleum Institute (API) and “Anonymous Program of Recovery” over the years.  I am currently employed by a Refining Company as a Principal Engineer and Subject Matter Expert for Fixed Equipment Mechanical Integrity/Asset Integrity and support all levels of corporate operations and site personnel.  My hobbies are spending time with my large blended family, outdoors, cooking, working with my hands on projects and serving my church.

I would be honored to continue in the capacity of Member at Large and represent the community if re-elected for the upcoming year.

Orlando Munive - Candidate for At Large Position

My name is Orlando Munive aka Big O, my bride Gloria and I worship at Crosspoint Church in Pearland, TX.  Gloria attended SCTD#3 where we met and fell in love two and a half years later.  We have been happily married for six months now and have a blended family.  Together we have three daughters, two sons, one son-in-law and three granddaughters and one grandson and are excited to be grandparents again with one grandchild on the way.

I attended Grace Gulf Coast Tres Dias #5 in Spring 2016 and have not stop serving ever since, except for SCTD#9 due to getting married.  I have devotedly served in Tres Dias as Dorm, Dining, Table, Prayer, Kitchen, Mobile, and Inside Head CHA. My first and favorite position was Table CHA for GGCTD#6.

As a single parent for many years, I wanted to make sure that my children have a desire to know God.  I sponsor all my adult children to Tres Dias and my son to SET Pescador, formerly SETVN (Tres Dias version for the youth).  My son and I served together for many weekends and my heart gravitated towards the youth.  I served about ten-eleven weekends and eventually became the Adult Rector for SETP#2.  I served on the board as an At Large Member, Interim Recording Secretary and currently on the Fundraising Committee.

I am currently working at Calpine Corporation as Director of Facilities.  I have been working in Facilities Management for the energy sector for about thirty-one years now and I am happy to have come this far in my career.  There is always something different happening each day and fires to extinguish and never a dull moment.

My gift from God is of course my bride Gloria but He has also given me a heart to serve the community, my fellow brothers and sisters, the church and Tres Dias as my passion.  I was once a long-time member of Grace Community Church and I loved to be at every big event they had going on, before to set up and after to take down.  They can always count on me for help, and I never did get tired of it.

Thank you for considering me as an At Large member for the Space City Tres Dias Board.  Please call me on my cell 281-830-4134 or email me at orlandomunive@gmail.com if you have any questions.

Travis WalkingStick - Candidate for At-Large Position

My name is Travis WalkingStick. I attended Grace Gulf Coast Tres Dias #5 where I sat at the table of John. Together with my wife, Laura (of almost 16 years), and our 3 daughters (Kylee–14, Ryan–10, Waverly–6), we worship and serve at Newlands Church in Katy, TX.

I have had the honor of being Rector for Space City Tres Dias #10 & have been serving as the Space City Tres Dias Vice President on the board for the last year & a half. I have loved being a part of the Tres Dias community since 2016 & want to see this community thrive as we continue to grow.

As my oldest daughter enters high school, it’s time for me to take a step back from serving as your VP & shift my focus to allow more time for family. I am seeking an at-large position in hopes that we can come alongside families that have young children and shepherd them well within this community. I have seen first-hand the sacrifice it takes to serve on any weekend, and recognize the sacrifices that children often make for their parents to be involved as well. My heart’s desire is to see the next generation of kingdom builders training up servant leaders through Tres Dias so they can love & serve with excellence first in their homes, then in their churches and on to their communities.

If elected to this at-large position, I will connect with families and members of this community to help bring honor and glory to God.

Over the past 25 years I have worked in the real estate industry from residential to commercial new construction, multi-unit rehabs and lease ups to assisting a commercial developer in new subdivision development.

A erwards, I became a Licensed Chaplain with IFOC (International Fellowship of Chaplains) and now volunteer for hospice patients in the Bay Area. I currently work for the Brazoria County Boys and Girls Club as a Youth Development Coordinator serving children for four Alvin ISD Junior High Schools. Children and the elderly have become my passion for being a voice for them when they feel they don’t have their own and I have enjoyed representing them and their needs. Other highlights include Secretary of the Homeless Coalition of Brazoria County, Education and Advanced Training Officer for IFOC, and a Board Member of SCTD Weekend Committee.

My hobbies include: cooking (did I mention cooking?), camping, reading and great BBQ’s while raising a hallelujah on the karoake machine with family and friends!
