I attend as many of the community events as I can, where I enjoy meeting other residents of the community, and encourage them to get involved.
 
Have you previously volunteered or attended events held by the HOA? If yes, please elaborate.
Yes, I volunteer and attend community events when I am available.
 
What do you like best about living in Johnson Ranch?
What I appreciate most about living in Johnson Ranch is the overall sense of pride and community involvement. The well‑maintained amenities, open spaces, and organized structure of the community make it a place where residents can enjoy a high quality of life. I value that Johnson Ranch is a community with clear standards, engaged residents, and a positive atmosphere, which makes it a place worth investing time and leadership into.
 
What do you feel can be improved in Johnson Ranch?
Johnson Ranch is a great place to live, and most things work well. If I had to point to a few areas for improvement, I’d say continuing to update and maintain the common areas and amenities would go a long way in keeping the community looking its best. It would also be great to see more opportunities for residents to get involved, whether through events, activities, or simple ways for people to connect. Overall, just keeping the neighborhood fresh, welcoming, and well‑maintained feels like the right direction.
 
Why would you like to serve on the Board?

I’d like to serve on the Board because I care about the community and want to help keep Johnson Ranch a great place to live. I just want to contribute, offer a practical perspective, and help make sure decisions are made with the long‑term good of the neighborhood in mind. I think being involved is one of the best ways to support the place we all call home.

 

I am honored to currently serve on the Johnson Ranch Board, where I have been re-elected three times. I now hold the Treasurer position and have previously served as Vice President. I also chair the Design Review Committee and have been an active member of that committee for the past eight years.

My commitment has always been to listen carefully, represent our community fairly, and make decisions that support the long‑term well‑being of our neighborhood as a whole. I take this responsibility seriously, and I work hard to ensure every choice reflects what is best for all residents.

I would be grateful for the opportunity to continue serving on the Johnson Ranch Board and to keep contributing to the progress and stability of our community.

Have you ever served on a board or a committee?
Yes. JRCA Board of Directors for 4+ years and the Volunteer Work Force committee for 1 year.
 
How would you get more resident involvement at the Board meetings?
We seem to get higher attendance when a meeting is ‘themed’ or when refreshments are offered. Perhaps experimenting with alternating meeting start times. Some mornings. Some afternoons. Some evenings. Some homeowners may be more ‘available’ at different times of the day.
 
Have you previously volunteered or attended events held by the HOA? If yes, please elaborate.
I attend ALL HOA events when scheduling permits. Holiday functions, trivia nights, town halls, community yard sales, board mtgs, etc.
 
What do you like best about living in Johnson Ranch?
Great neighbors. Quiet neighborhood. Fantastic weather.
 
What do you feel can be improved in Johnson Ranch?
Homeowner participation in association activities and governance. Activity participation seems to have increased over the last year or so. Interest in day-to-day operation and future community goals seem to be waning.
 
Why would you like to serve on the Board?
I would like to continue to participate, with the current AMAZING Board, in our so-far successful quest to faithfully steward our assessment dollars and maintain/enhance property values.
 
Please include a short biography of your qualifications and why you wish to serve on the Board (150 words or less recommended).

I am a 15-year, full-time resident of JRCA. I have extensive business experience, having owned/operated my own successful businesses. I have extensive experience in state/county statutes, having served the Commonwealth of PA for 18 years, Pinal County for 8 years, JRCA Board for 4+ years. I am confident that my ‘different’ way of viewing each arising situation brings light to all options.

How would you get more resident involvement at the Board meetings?
This is a tough one. Increasing homeowner involvement overall has been something I had hoped to influence. As a 26-year resident of the community, I recall some of the early years when meetings were held in the library of the local elementary school that we had a full house. During those times, the community was still developing, and homeowners attended to ensure their input was heard on the many hot topics. I'd like to think, to some extent, low attendance at board meetings means that homeowners feel the homeowners representing them are making decisions they agree with. Still, I would love to see more homeowners becoming involved - not just at the board meetings, but attending events, and volunteering on committees. How to do this? Continue the drive to get every homeowner on the email list to receive the weekly Roundup email blasts, increase our presence on social media - showing more pictures from events and posting more regularly to improve our algorithm so we appear in more feeds, and look at possibly creating a Johnson Ranch app for the community - this one is something new and would totally be dependent on cost!
 
Have you previously volunteered or attended events held by the HOA? If yes, please elaborate.
Yes. As both a resident and a board member, I've consistently volunteered. At one point, JR actually had a volunteer committee, and I was part of that - even taking the extra step to submit for a background check and fingerprinting so I could volunteer at events where children were involved. As for community-sponsored events, the same applies that I've gone to a number of community events over the years - - trivia night, floating sound bath, movies at the pool, movies at Fat Cats (when they had them), Spring Flings, Hoot Nights, the list goes on.
 
What do you like best about living in Johnson Ranch?
I like all that JR has to offer - the open spaces throughout the community, the amenities (even though I don't regularly use many of them), and most of all my wonderful neighbors! JR has a great vibe and I love it here.
 
What do you feel can be improved in Johnson Ranch?
Johnson Ranch is one of, if not the oldest, community in San Tan Valley. While I'm not looking for us to compete head-to-head with newer communities being built, I do think it's important to keep our community maintained and to add or improve amenities as we are able. Currently, one of the most important items we need to focus on is a new office/meeting space. The current building is a former construction trailer that the original developer left on the property for the community to use... it was NEVER was meant to last 26+ years, and we've definitely outgrown this office. Finding office space that fits our amazing staff would be great, not to mention finally being able to offer meeting space to JR clubs/residents would be a benefit to the community.
 
Why would you like to serve on the Board?

I care deeply about this community and want to continue serving as a fair, thoughtful voice on the board. I don’t come with any personal agenda or pre‑set objectives. While I may not personally use every amenity—pickleball, the pools, or the pitch andputt—I fully recognize the value they bring to our residents and to the character of Johnson Ranch.

 

Every decision I make is rooted in what strengthens our community: keeping it safe, attractive, and well‑maintained, and ensuring that residents are represented fairly. I’m committed to policies that are reasonable, consistent, and truly community‑driven. Finally, I want to make sure those living in JR receive an excellent return on the dues we pay - both in quality of life and maintaining strong home values.

I am a 26‑year resident of Johnson Ranch with a long history of active involvement in our community. I come with no personal agenda—only a genuine desire to serve. Long before joining the board, I regularly attended monthly meetings for more than 18 years, offering input and staying engaged in the issues that matter to residents.

 

Professionally, I bring over 30 years of experience in Corporate America. My current role at a major bank focuses on business support, administration, event and meeting management, and employee engagement—skills that translate directly to effective board service.

During my four years on the board, I’ve met regularly with fellow board members as well as our community manager to stay informed about ongoing projects and concerns. I take the time to research agenda items so I’m fully prepared to discuss and vote on matters that impact Johnson Ranch.

 

I would be grateful for your consideration for another term as your voice on the board.
