Platform for Office
Mission and Customer Focus are core professional values for me. My work history demonstrates an ability to lead teams
to the accomplishment of complex business goals - while maintaining positive work relationships. In the role of HOA
Director, I will view our residents as the “customer” and prioritize advocating on behalf of those having concerns. Not all
issues can be resolved to everyone’s satisfaction – but often there are commonsense solutions that simply take bit of time,
willingness, and genuine customer concern to resolve. The issues faced by the HOA Board are vast and often complex –
however listed below are a few of what will be my key focus areas.
Focus Areas
- RULES: We have rules obviously and a community our size needs them to maintain order and fairness – but to deal with unenforced or unenforceable rules, by proposing MORE RULES is simply nonsensical. If a rule is not being enforced or cannot be enforced, then what’s the point in making new ones? We need to look at issues wholistically, taking the time to figure out better approaches that will impact the 5% who make the trouble and not the 95% who don’t.
- SAFETY: An important issue in our community. Whether due to traffic, wildlife, weather, facility/playground maintenance, or misbehavior at the community pool - issues of safety must be treated as a priority. Sometimes resolving safety concerns can be a matter of cost. The wise use of the HOA Budget is critical – but when safety concerns can be resolved with a modest investment – I think these solutions should be supported.
- ARC FAIRNESS: I currently serve as Chair of the ARC Committee. Every day we get requests from homeowners who follow the rules and present their planned changes for approval. We work with each requestor to try to get their plans approved within what is allowable – but sometimes we must deny a few. Some homeowners simply ignore the process altogether, install whatever they wish and never seem to get called on it – this is simply an unfair situation for the majority who do care about our community standards. If elected - I will press for management to do routine ARC inspections to ensure unapproved modifications are identified and resolved as necessary. It’s simply unfair for one neighbor following the rules to have a request denied – only to see another neighbor installing the same thing they requested – with no consequence. This needs to stop.
Community and Public Service Experience:
- CDD Board Supervisor Mar 23 – Present: I serve as a Supervisor for the Preserve of Pasco County CDD Board of Supervisors. In this role my focus is on the preservation of the community amenities, resources, and infrastructure in support of maintaining the neighborhood’s function and appearance as it was designed.
- HOA ARC Committee Chair Dec 22 – Present: Review Homeowner Architectural Requests against applicable ARC Guidelines. Prioritized completing all requests in a timely manner. Led the committee’s effort to draft and gain approval for several Guideline changes. Currently working effort to create a web-based ARC Guideline Change Request form to enable any homeowner to request guideline changes.
- HOA Board Member, April 21 – Nov 22: Served as the first homeowner elected to the Preserve HOA Board. In this capacity as part of the developer-controlled board – I facilitated solutions to homeowner issues. This required frequent collaboration with the Property Management, the developer, vendors, and the CDD. During this period, I became familiar with the recurring concerns voiced by homeowners and the constraints regarding each.
- HOA Board, Vice-President, Dec 18 - Feb 21: Served as Vice-President on the Walney Mills (Centreville,VA) HOA Board of Directors. In this role I performed duties typical of an HOA Director regarding deed restriction enforcement, budget management, vendor management and responding to homeowner concerns.
Professional Experience Summary:
- As a federal contracts Program Manager – over the course of my career I have managed over $600M in contract value and teams as large as 400. I have experience managing subcontractors, vendors, competitive proposal bids and day-to-day facilities management. I have experience communicating and negotiating with senior business leaders, public officials; both elected and career service, as well as direct customer engagement (happy and unhappy). Ultimately in most cases, having concern for and taking care of the day-to-day small issues results in positive outcomes for the big issues.
