2017 Peyton Pines HOA Board Candidates

Meet your Board candidates.

Samantha Munoz

Bio: My background includes over 25 years of my professional career in the financial fields, to include banking and insurance.

During this time, I also served on the board for a church organization for more than a decade and a half.

Message to the Homeowners: This community is one that I truly find an enormous amount of pride in. Peyton Pines is a what I see as a true gem, in El Paso county. Being part of the direction that the committee takes in balancing community interest, to include the efforts to update our covenants and bylaws to more accurately reflect today’s needs, is something I am committed to working towards. If elected to PPHOA Board, I will do my best to be part of what the majority of the community wants and or needs from the PPHOA.

Sharon Friedman

Bio: We moved to Peyton Pines a little over a year ago, after I retired from 32 years with the Forest Service. I worked in many different areas, from litigation and appeals, to environmental reviews of projects, to research administration, and  supervising reforestation crews. I am a forester by education and profession.

Message to the Homeowners: I think it’s important for us neighbors to have an HOA that works and one that works well. I’ve lived in the country and in the suburbs, with and without HOA’s, so I have experience with the pros and cons of HOA’s. My work for the Forest Service often involved lands issues with different neighbors wanting different things and trying to get consensus, so I have some experience with that also. I’ve also worked with lawyers and tried to understand land related legal issues, so that might be helpful to the Board.

Peyton Pines is a great place to live now, and I believe that by working together we can not only keep it up, but also make it better.
