Why This Website Exists
This website exists because of a letter.
On May 5, 2026, just before a scheduled mediation between me and the HOA, the majority Board distributed a community-wide letter.
Until that day, I believed mediation offered an opportunity to resolve our disagreements.
After reading that letter, I reached a different conclusion.
I realized that I could not rely on mediation to correct the misconceptions that had been spreading throughout the community.
I also realized that I had no practical way to respond.
I couldn't use HOA resources.
I couldn't easily distribute community-wide communications.
And I wasn't willing to spend years suing my neighbors.
So I created this website.
The Story Most Homeowners Never Heard
People know bits and pieces of this story.
Some know about the Facebook discussions.
Some know about the board conflict.
People know about the letters sent to homeowners.
But very few have seen the entire picture.
This website was created to connect those pieces.
Social Media Changed the Conversation
In my opinion, the single most influential factor in shaping community perceptions was the creation of a Facebook group by Jessica Pearson.
The group quickly became much more than a place for neighbors to exchange information.
Stories were shared.
Allegations were repeated.
Opinions were formed.
Board members were not allowed to participate.
Neighbors were removed if they questioned the motives.
Over time, those conversations influenced many homeowners.
This is what I'd like to ask you to do: Recognize the power of social media to shape perceptions within a community.

Board Decisions Became Personal
One of the most difficult parts of this experience was watching the collective decisions of 5 board member/homeowner volunteers become associated with only one person.
Many of the issues that became sources of controversy involved:
Board votes.
Committee decisions.
Management recommendations.
Legal opinions.
Attorney advice.
Yet I often became the person publicly blamed for any decisions that a few neighbors disagreed with, rather than understanding that those decisions were agreed on by a board majority.
That distinction matters.
Because there is a significant difference between an HOA board making a decision and one homeowner being portrayed as solely responsible for it.

Mediation Was an Opportunity.
The May 5th Letter Changed That.
I entered mediation hoping that the parties could sit down, review the facts, and find common ground.
Instead, the Board majority distributed a community-wide letter on the very day of mediation minutes before it started.
That decision fundamentally changed my expectations.
Rather than moving toward a peaceful resolution, it appeared that the conflict was escalating.
The website you're reading today is a direct result of that moment.

I believe the July 20th letter was in response to my website. Again, instead of sitting down and attempting to mediate the situation, the board majority and HOA attorney turned it into a personal attack against me.

Why Documentation Matters
This website is intended to provide information.
You'll find:
Emails.
Meeting records.
Timelines.
Invoices.
Governing documents.
Board Communications.
Social media screenshots.
My goal is to provide the documentation that brings context to the Board's Letters.
One Final Thought
I chose not to file a lawsuit.
Not because I didn't believe I had legitimate concerns.
And not because this experience didn't have a profound impact on me.
I didn't want to sue because I don't want to spend years in litigation against my neighbors.
Instead, I chose transparency.
I chose documentation.
And I chose to share the information that I believe every homeowner deserves to see.
Because this isn't just my story.
It's also a reminder that HOA boards exercise significant authority, and that authority affects every homeowner in this community.
My hope is simple:
Review the information.
Read the documents.
Ask questions.
And then decide if the current homeowners serving as the board majority belong in leadership for our community.
For over 30 years that this HOA has existed, No Board has ever used official Association communications to publicly criticize an individual homeowner and sitting volunteer Director. The current Board chose to do so twice, using homeowner funds to distribute official letters containing accusations and personal criticisms directed at me. This website was created in response to those letters and to document the complete factual record behind those claims and the events that led to them.
Letter One - Click Here Letter Two - Click Here
A physical copy of the May 5, 2026 Association-wide accusation correspondence was sent to the personal residences of the Chair and the President for the Scripps Ranch Civic Association (SRCA) - a community board of which I am a sitting director. These two individuals are not members of the Association.
On July 21st - a physical copy of the July 20th Association-wide accusation email was sent (AGAIN) to even more SRCA Board members' personal residences. Adding more Scripps Ranch Community Leaders that do not live in our HOA.
What Association purpose, if any, was served by distributing the divisive correspondence beyond the Association's membership and governance structure? NONE - this appears to be an attempt to ruin my reputation, as a community leader beyond the HOA.
I volunteer my time & leadership as a Director on SRCA, Voice of Scripps Ranch (VOSR) and Chair of both the Scripps Ranch Planning Group (SRPG) www.srcpg.org and the City of San Diego Community Planners' Committee (CPC) www.sdcpc.org
This behavior is completely inappropriate and needs to stop. The issuance of the two letters by the HOA majority members is irresponsible in every way and there is no reason short of intimidation of me and any community members that disagree with board governance.
