Hugh Wynn is the Chief Financial Officer for Water Lily Press, Inc. a Houston-based company that specializes in water conservation education program development and publishing. After a distinguished career in oil and gas, Hugh authored several historical fiction novels, including West of the Cross Timbers, a frontier/western which recounts the tragic demise of an indigenous way of life in North Texas. He is also the author of Laundry List, a suspense novel about money laundering strategies; The Generation-X Files (Dare to be Average), a financial primer; and The Mormon and Mr. Sullivan, based on the infamous Southern Utah Mountain Meadows Massacre.

Wynn wrote and narrates the Texas Rivers DVD presentation featured in the curriculum, TEXAS WATER – Origins and Destinations, created by Water Lily Press, Inc. The TEXAS WATER curriculum provides hands-on instructional projects for Science and Social Studies classes in grades 3-6.

Wynn is the author of the Texas Frontier Series of DIME NOVELS provided for students as part of the TEXAS WATER educational program. Hugh draws on family history for these stories; he is a direct descendant of Amanda Genareo Wynn, wife of G. A. Holland, who was first elected Mayor of Weatherford in 1932. Holland assembled the Double Log Cabin for the Old Settlers and Half-Century Club that is now a museum of Texas Frontier days. In the mid- to late 1880’s Weatherford was the end-of-the-line for the Texas & Pacific Rail Road, and this is where the Sullivan family started their new life in Texas discussed in Wynn’s first Dime Novel.

He and his wife, Carolyn, have long been active in university scholarship programs, endowing several Presidents’ Distinguished Scholarship Trusts at their alma mater, OSU. Wynn served on the OSU Foundation Board of Governors for many years.
