I decided to become a candidate for the GVR Board because I feel neglected and ignored by the current Board. Iâll do my best to represent GVR members fairly with complete transparency. My wife and I are year-round residents of Green Valley. I retired in 2008 after a 40-year career as a custom home builder. I served on the board of several HOAs in Oregon.
