He is from New Hampshire where he was Community Director for the VA, managing 2,700 residences. He was also the Director of Environmental Services at Waters Edge. What do you like most about working here in LA? “Right now, Christine and I are collaborating together to get our community back together. We want all our residents to realize the amenities are for everyone and we want to see all of our residents taking advantage of all that we have to offer. We have started to sync events between the Clubhouse and the HFC to ensure large events are not held on the same night at both locations causing our residents to choose one over the other. “ What is your biggest challenge? “I would say the budget restrictions. There are quite a few things that need to be done but it cannot all be done overnight. We have to choose priorities and work within our budget. I would like to ask all residents to give us time and they will see these changes coming. Current efforts are updating the fitness equipment, updating the indoor pool area with painting, plants, bringing in more classes such as Zumba and possibly Aqua Zumba. We have availability for more classes and want to provide some new options.” What would you like to say to the residents? “I would encourage all residents to get more active. We have some really great amenities and facilities here in Lake Ashton and want everyone to take full advantage of them. I would love to see more residents come to the HFC who don’t currently use the HFC to see what we have to offer as well as give myself and our staff a chance to meet them.”
