/Candidate Bios for the SCFCA Board Election
On October 19, 2021 at 7pm at the SCFCA Clubhouse on 17515 Fairway Oaks
Candidate for President - Richard (Rich) Short
I am a regional sales manager for a nationwide diesel parts company. I am also a retired US Army veteran. I enjoy cooking and traveling and spending time with my friends, family and neighbors. I have been an active volunteer in the community by helping to decorate the front entrance for Christmas, donating Christmas lights and a podium, as well as being the pit master at the BBQ cookoff. I also volunteered on the pool renovation committee last year. I have been on the boards of 3 different HOA’s and have held 3 different positions: President, Vice President, and Board member. I believe in being frugal with the HOA’s money, but I also believe that preventive maintenance on all the HOA’s assets is a must.
Candidate for Vice President - Eric Birnbaum
As a native Texan, I always dreamed of big trees and a neighborhood that welcomed all. I moved to SCF in October 2018 with my family and we absolutely love it. We chose SCF because of its peaceful, beautiful, wooded lots, huge pool, tennis courts and lots of other amenities for young families. I am passionate about healthcare and enjoy traveling and cooking with my family and friends. I have an MBA with a focus in healthcare. I currently serve as Vice President for SCFCA and would like to maintain the momentum we’ve gained from the last two years with the consistent goal to improve our community. I find immense value in serving SCF while providing an objective approach to key decisions for our community. It is paramount to listen to our membership and their concerns while creating a collaborative environment for measured success.
Candidate for Secretary – Erin Maxwell
I am running for Secretary because I am committed to our neighborhood and want to see it grow in a positive way. We moved here 3 years ago for the trees, amenities, and to be closer to my career as a geoscientist for an oil major. Aside from professional experiences, I have served on the Board for a performing arts organization, and currently volunteer in the children's ministry team and sing soprano with the choir at our church, Northwoods Presbyterian. Our family attends the kid friendly community events and enjoy the pool and playground a good bit. I am level-headed, well organized and have experience with electronic meeting formats, MS Office, and Adobe Acrobat. I look forward to being Secretary.
Candidate for Treasurer - Arthur (Art) Denzau
I have been a member of the Spring Creek Forest community for a little over 4 years now. My wife, Noelle, and I moved here in July 2017. When we were house hunting, we fell in love with this neighborhood immediately. The mature trees, the variety of attractive houses, the well-kept lawns, and the waterfall out on Louetta all made it difficult to look anywhere else. We were extremely fortunate to purchase our home on Moccasin Bend and have enjoyed every minute of living here. I am a mechanical engineer by profession, but I have very strong math and excel skills. I am always up for a challenge and love to learn new things. I served on the pool renovation committee last year. I take great pride in everything I do and would love to put some of that pride and experience to work helping the community stay the beautiful place that it is. I look forward to being Treasurer. Thank you.
