After 16 years in the foodservice industry, Creitz joined GPM, Inc, which would eventually become Mitchell Historic Properties, and traveled between offices in Austin and Galveston. After falling in love with the authenticity of Galveston, Creitz quickly made the decision to become an Island resident. 16 years later, Creitz spends his days as Project Manager for Mitchell Historic Properties, a role in which has allowed him the opportunity to serve the community by helping to preserve the legacy of the late George P. Mitchell.

He currently serves on the Galveston Park Board of Trustees, the East End Lagoon Advisory Committee, the Finance Committee for the Park Board, the Parks & Amenities Committee, the Downtown Holiday Lighting Committee, and the Vision Galveston Steering Committee. He has previously served on the Galveston Regional Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors, the ITC Intermodal Transportation Committee, and Access Care of Coastal Texas Board.

With each project Creitz manages, he is able to ensure that the Mitchell Family’s commitment to the overall success and revitalization of The Strand District, Pier 21 and Galveston Island, is carried out and that the authenticity of the Island is never compromised.
