Board of Directors

Gordon Hartman

chair
Native San Antonian Gordon Hartman is a philanthropist and former homebuilder who at the age of 15 started his own landscaping business while attending a local seminary. By age 19, he had saved enough to begin his homebuilding business, and by age 23, he had started a land development company. Founded in 1983, Gordon Hartman Homes built housing for low- to moderate-income families. Over the next 22 years, Gordon grew his company into the largest locally-owned homebuilding and land-development enterprise in San Antonio. In recognition of his success in business, he has earned membership in both the San Antonio Business Hall of Fame and the Texas Business Hall of Fame. Gordon was also inducted into the San Antonio Sports Hall of Fame in 2018 for bringing professional soccer to San Antonio and, in so doing, generating financial support for the special-needs community.

Maggie Hartman

vice-chair & secretary

Hartman has worked alongside husband Gordon in trying to make life better for individuals with special needs. A lifelong San Antonian, she was employed in the mortgage business when she met Gordon. They married in 1991, and after daughter Morgan’s birth, she became a stay-at-home mom to focus on Morgan’s care and well-being. In 2013, Hartman was diagnosed with and successfully treated for breast cancer. As a result of that experience, she became a staunch advocate for early detection and treatment. She is actively involved with Morgan’s Wonderland and other members of Morgan’s “family” of Ultra-Accessible™, fully-inclusive venues, and she also devotes her time and energy to Morgan’s annual gala fundraiser and to many other organizations that assist those with special needs.

Chantel Keller

Like many families who The MAC will serve, Chantel Keller has spent countless hours multitasking therapies, shuttling between doctors' appointments, attending school meetings, training nurses and teachers on the detailed care of her son, learning new medical procedures, and navigating insurance and community services. After attending college in Utah and Virginia, she enjoyed a very successful career in corporate sales while simultaneously supporting her husband during his medical and military training. Chantel's greatest blessings in life have come from her faith and her family. She is the mother of two wonderful children. During the ultrasound of her son Carson in her 18th week of pregnancy, Chantel learned their life would be very different than expected. Carson was delivered prematurely because of rapidly advancing hydrocephalus. Throughout Carson's eight years of life, he struggled with many disabilities, requiring Chantel to learn and study various disorders, medical procedures, therapies, community services, and hospice care. Chantel quickly adapted to her new path in life and embraced many new roles - caregiver, student, nurse, therapist, educator, and advocate. Chantel understands the unique challenges, heartaches, and, most of all, the pure joy that comes from caring for individuals with special needs. She is passionate about helping families find joy in their journey as they care for their loved ones. Chantel enjoys volunteering in the community, serving in her church youth organization, traveling with her husband, and spending time with her teenage daughter. She has made Texas her home, and she truly loves to serve the many individuals and families who are a part of The MAC family.
