Meet The Candidates!

 

As a dedicated resident of SunCrest for nearly six years, I've developed a deep appreciation for our neighborhood's unique character and a commitment to its continued prosperity. My whole family enjoys mountain biking, hiking, and trail running from our front door. With a background as an Air Force Officer, a law enforcement leader, and more recently a Real Estate Broker and team leader, I've honed skills in financial management, project coordination, conflict resolution, facility management, and human resources that I believe would be valuable to our Board of Trustees. As a volunteer on the SunCrest HOA Finance Committee, I learned in-depth about the inner workings of our community budget.

 

In my professional life as a Special Agent in Charge, I successfully managed complex budgets, led teams through strategic planning processes, and implemented efficiency improvements (nearly unheard of in government). As a Real Estate Agent, I've been engaged with the HOA Board, Draper City Council, and State legislature to stand up for homeowners in our community. These experiences equipped me with a practical understanding of fiscal responsibility, strategic planning, and responsible community building that directly apply to challenges and opportunities facing our HOA.

 

Community involvement has always been a priority in my life. I've advocated to Draper City Council for dedicated recreation space and improving our trails, I've served on the finance committee for nearly three years, and I've sponsored HOA community events. Through these experiences, I've developed strong relationships with many residents and gained valuable insights into the diverse perspectives within our community.

 

If elected to the Board, my priorities would include seeking out budget efficiencies where possible, ensuring fiscally responsible management of our shared resources, and enhancing access to existing community amenities while being mindful of assessment levels. I believe in making decisions that balance immediate needs with long-term vision to preserve and enhance our property values and quality of life.

 

I approach community leadership with a collaborative mindset, believing that the best solutions emerge when diverse viewpoints are heard and respected. My attention to detail and diplomatic communication style would contribute to thoughtful decision-making that serves the interests of all residents.

 

As a homeowner with a vested interest in our community's future, I'm committed to dedicating the time and energy necessary to serve effectively on the Board. I would be honored to represent my neighbors in this capacity and welcome the opportunity to contribute to the continued success of SunCrest.

SunCrest Resident since 2019

 

Hello neighbors! A fun-loving, pragmatic, and conscientious SunCrest resident, my name is Lisa Holcomb, and SunCrest has been home for me and my family for over 20 years. My children grew up in SunCrest, and now my grandchildren enjoy our fabulous neighborhood. I have a strong desire to maintain the core values of family and community, while maintaining the beauty of our unique community alongside a balanced budget and strengthened relationships with Draper City. With over 25 years as a Technical Operations Manager, I believe I can offer developed skills in negotiating, compromising, and listening. As your elected Board member, the votes I would cast would be to serve the community at large, not to serve my own personal interests. My journey to serve our community began early on in my residency at SunCrest. I have been involved with committees and board representation, including most recently serving the community as a board of trustees, and look forward to another opportunity.

 

A diverse board aids in checks and balances of strategic planning and oversight in relevant community mission, direction, and goals, asset protection, ensuring fiduciary accountability, and to keep the community’s best interest at the core of all decisions. At times, there will be difficult outcomes to be made as a Board. SunCrest needs a Board that will be able to navigate and focus on putting the best interests of the community first. I have no hidden agendas and welcome open discussion with homeowners if there are ever any questions on my thought process. This is our community, and I share with you the common goal of preserving the beauty, nature, and mountain vibe of our space and the coveted uniqueness of living at SunCrest. There is continued work to be done to see the increased parking to completion, fiducial oversight to ensure the reinvestment fee is being used appropriately, and to look for opportunities and planning to maintain the desirability of living at SunCrest.

 

Healthy dialogue between Board members and homeowners will need to be in place to ensure continued success to preserve our wonderful community and ensure SunCrest is a place we are all proud to call home. Over twenty years of living at SunCrest and being active in the Draper community, as well as my knowledge of SunCrest CC&Rs, By-Laws, and my love, commitment, and passion for our community are reasons why I would love to once again serve on the Board of Trustees.

 

Thank you for your consideration.

 

Dear neighbors, my name is Brady Sines. My wife and I have lived in SunCrest for over 13 years. We have three kids with families of their own. I make a living running IT for a pharmaceutical manufacturing company here in Utah. I have never served on the HOA board in the past, though I have previously worked with the HOA leading Draper’s Neighborhood Watch and CERT efforts for SunCrest. I am very interested in serving on the Board of Trustees for the SunCrest Owners Association to help us understand exactly what homeowners are getting for the fees collected from us, especially the ‘reinvestment’ fee tied to home sales, and to make sure residents’ goals are accurately reflected in the HOA priorities and spending. I look forward to learning more about your concerns as a homeowner and working with the Board to address them. 

 

Many thanks, Brady
