All Lakes homeowners are encouraged to attend Meet the Candidates and the LCA Annual Meeting.
Hello! My name is Andrew Campbell and I am volunteering to serve on the LCA Board of Directors. I am a graduate of Arizona State University and have had a successful career in project management and various other business roles. In addition to my professional achievements, I am a loving husband and a proud parent of two wonderful children, Max and Jack.
Family is very important to me and extends to every decision I would make on the board. Our family has been living in the Lakes community now for almost twelve years, and recently both of our children’s grandparents have chosen to call this community home. This has created a connection to our neighborhood that fuels my passion for enhancing the quality of life for all residents in the Lakes.
My diverse experience as a project manager has equipped me with the skills necessary to navigate complex challenges and implement effective solutions. I am dedicated to fostering an inclusive, transparent, and collaborative environment within our HOA.
I am excited about the opportunity to contribute my skills and insights to the Board of Directors, working together to make our community an even better place to live for current and future generations. As a dedicated professional and community-oriented individual, I look forward to offering my experience to our Homeowners Association as a member of the Board of Directors.
I might be the new kid on the block but I’m here to stay! I moved to the Lakes this summer with my lovely wife and two little boys (Oliver, 3yo & Archie, 8mths). I’ve lived in Tempe since 1995 but grew up an army brat. Some of my best childhood memories are living in Fallbrook, CA and Heidelberg, Germany.
My newly adopted second home is Dublin, Ireland where my wife is from. We both love to travel and escape the Phoenix summers by going abroad. Which happened a lot more pre-kids!
I’ve been self employed since 2006 providing residential & commercial audio visual sales/services & more recently 24/7 home security monitoring. This has taught me the importance of forging & maintaining relationships, being consistent & reliable, and providing quality service.
The loyalty I have managed to earn from clients over the past 18 years is something I strive to earn from this community that I, and my family, are proud to be a part of.
It would be my great pleasure to serve this community on the board so that it can continue being the type of neighborhood that other young couples dream of moving to, as well as role modeling to my boys the importance of service and commitment. Thank you for considering me.
Nate Hoffman, a born & bred Lakes Snake, grew up in the Lakes community from 1991 - 2006. He went to Wisconsin on a swimming scholarship and then pursued a career in aerospace & defense that took him all over the globe. In 2020, he moved back home to start a family while pivoting into the mortgage industry.
Having lived in nine states across the country, Nate brings vast exposure to diversity. While living in Alabama, he served in the Huntsville Committee of 100, focused on the pillars of: philanthropy, education, and politics.
With a grandfather who helped architect the Lakes community, parents who instilled a strong sense of community, and a commitment to continue this profound heritage, Nate is honored by the opportunity to serve on the board. Giving back to this community is the next step in a joyful adventure of life.
Thank you for your encouragement and support.
Sincerely,
Nate
I like the original landscape design of the Lakes community and think the association should redouble its’ efforts to preserve it - intact. Landscaping changes are fine if they do not 00materially depart from the original design concept and are done in an environment of crystal clear transparency with full inclusion of the association membership. And while amenities, landscaping,and water features are all fun, we need to be careful not to over burden ourselves with assessments.
Trees are of a particular concern for me. Over the last 50 years we have invested in and nurtured saplings into heritage trees – some of them now 4 feet in diameter. Trees are a Lakes signature feature reflecting an established community with the right values and the wherewithal for effective arbor management. I think conserving trees in global warming conditions is possible and would be a point of pride for the Lakes Community Association.
I’ve lived in the Lakes for over 30 years and twice served on the LCA board of directors. My professional background is in software development in large institution and aeronautical engineering contexts.
