David Skelton, M.D., has recently retired from decades in family medical practice in Hillsboro, Texas. Formerly Chief of Staff of Hill Regional Hospital and managing partner of his medical firm, he also has served that community in scouting and youth sports leagues, the Chamber of Commerce, on Historic Preservation boards, and as City Council member and Mayor Pro Tempore of the City of Hillsboro.
An active Episcopalian, at St. Mary’s he has served as senior warden, junior warden, auditor, and treasurer. David and Roberta have consistently provided leadership and hospitality for the continuing, vibrant ministry of St. Mary’s, one of the oldest continuing congregations in Hillsboro and this diocese. David has personally modeled commitment to reconciliation as he has nurtured the unique arrangement for limited sharing of the use of the historic church property by both the Episcopal and breakaway congregations. He also has served the diocese on the Steering Committee to reorganize the diocese and on the Ubuntu (Listening) Committee.
David and Roberta, “the World’s Greatest Kindergarten Teacher,” have four children.
