Hamed M

I'm Hamed M, a resident of MBR since 2023 and a PSIA ski instructor on the hill. My day job is an engineer, specializing in data automation. My wife and I live in three RIM most of the time. Our two dogs love to run in the field by the clubhouse and bark at every dog that walks by our cabin.

 

I am currently a member of the HOA board for another property, and here are some things I’ve tackled on behalf of my neighbors:

I created a website for the community and helped to streamline communications, all at no cost to the residents. 
I like getting into the weeds of HOA financials, and I found an error in the community’s reserve study that needed to be corrected by the reserve study company.
I reached out to multiple vendors to request estimates for overdue building repairs and am now working with my fellow board members to create a long-term maintenance plan that is appropriate for the community’s size and fiscal situation.
I believe in transparency, and I advocated successfully for board meetings to be open to all residents.

I would like to apply my skills and experience as a member of the MBR Board. I’ve studied MBR’s latest reserve study, so I already have some understanding of where things stand and what else needs to be done. And, I’d like to help with updating MBR’s website.

Thanks for considering me.

I would like to volunteer for the HOA Board this year. I bring over 20 years of experience in Property Management and HOA Management, and currently own a real estate company in Seattle that specializes in both. In addition, I operate a supporting maintenance company, giving me hands-on experience in vendor coordination, property upkeep, and project oversight.

As a homeowner and member of this community for the past eight years, I’m invested in its long-term success. I believe my industry expertise, leadership background, and practical knowledge would be valuable assets to the Board. I’m committed to supporting clear communication, fiscal responsibility, and proactive management.

Thank you for your consideration.

I have called Western Washington my home for nearly 3 decades.  My wife and are proud owners within this great community since January of 2024 and have had the opportunity to rent a number of its homes over the past several years.  We enjoy all that the community has to offer, including its amenities and the outdoor activities the area provides.  I received my BS in Civil Engineering from Montana State and my MBA from Seattle University.  I continue to work full time, having spent my career of 29 years at Boeing in a number of engineering roles.  I am married with two daughters, one that is a freshman at Western and another that will be starting her senior year of high school in the fall.  It would be a privilege to serve on the board, working to ensure our HOA represents all of our members, whether you are a full time resident or simply wish you could be here more often.  I would appreciate your consideration for allowing me to support you in this way.
