I've been a continuous HOA member since the mid-80s. Barefoot is my 5th HOA community which included condominium, single-family, and part-time residential communities. I feel my background as members of diverse HOAs gives me a well-rounded understanding the range of BRRA needs. I retired from a 37-year corporate engineering career in hi-tech quality-oriented global manufacturing (TRW, Motorola, Medtronic) which included departmental and capital management. I will bring quality and best practice expertise to the board.
At Barefoot, I've participated on the Emergency Preparedness and Website Committees. I have been Voting Member for the Brookstone neighborhood. Additionally, I have experience on the board of a private good old boys' club (Harley Owners Group).
What do you see as the main issue(s) currently facing the Board?
Member Inclusion. Transparency. Competent legal guidance. Incomplete, conflicting, and seriously outdated governing documents.
