| LIFE IN SOLERA | APRIL 2022 | 9 Integrity and Leadership I am seeking a position on the Solera HOA Board of Directors because I believe I can make a positive contribution to our community. My goals are to maintain a quality community, while at the same time, keeping our assessments as low as possible. I will honor my fiduciary duty while a member of the Board of Directors and will always put the members, and the needs of the community, first. My wife and I have lived in Solera for a total of more than eleven years. I am a member of the Ad Hoc Bulk Cable Committee, which recently submitted to the Board of Directors, a new bulk contract proposal from Spectrum, for both Cable and Internet service, for the next five years. I served as liaison between the Communications and Technology Committee and the Bulk Cable Committee. Additionally, I authored an article, published in "Life in Solera," about how to save money on your cable bill. I am a member of, and the facilitator for, the Billiards Club. I am also a member of the Texas Hold'em Poker Club. I have appeared before the board many times, on behalf of the Billiards Club, as well as on other issues, such as to speak-up in opposition to the removal of the community's beautiful pine trees. Prior to retirement, I worked as a teacher, area supervisor and attorney. I taught History/English at the secondary level. I worked as an area supervisor for a major fast-food company, where I was responsible for the operation of a group of restaurants. I practiced law in several areas, including estate planning, bankruptcy, personal injury, and worked as a deputy public defender, practicing criminal law. I went to law school later in life while working full time. Now retired, I hope to contribute to our community by becoming a member of the Board of Directors. I believe my diverse experience, education, as well as integrity, uniquely qualifies me to be an effective member of our Board of Directors. I respectfully ask for your vote.
