Pat lived on the RV side for several years before becoming a MH owner with wife and business partner, Teresa. Pat volunteered to serve on the board because he brings private business ownership experience including mining, construction and building application and operations. Pat most recently served as VP where he took on the Co-op Operations Liaison role. He has been president since Fall of 2023.
"I've run a multi-million dollar family business with great success. I've served on boards and was President of my local Fire Department. I've applied that experience, work as a team and truly help the residents and improve Harbor Village."
Hello neighbors, I have enjoyed my time on the Interim and current Board as Secretary and also Treasurer. It's been a pleasure interacting with everyone and being part of the team that has already facilitated change at Harbor Village. My focus has been and will continue to be affordable housing for our community, creating and maintaining a safe park and being a good steward of our finances. I've worked in private industry and for the state of Oregon (you, as taxpayers) in human resources, accounting, finance, budget, project management, problem solving and facilitation. I am pleased I can apply this experience and education in these areas as a member of the current board.

Martin lived on the RV side for a year before moving to the mobile home side for the past 12 years. Martin was instrumental in initiating and being our representative once the park was listed for sale. He served as the Coop's Interim Treasurer and continues in that role. Martin truly understands the finances and how Co-ops work as well as the pressures from CASA and lenders. " We are on a challenging and difficult journey that now allows us to control our future. The challenge is learning to work together in developing policies, procedures and financial controls to keep the park livable for all of us. There will be times when there are sharp differences among the residents. We need to work together in a polite and courteous manner as the BOD makes difficult decisions for the greater good and survival of the park.

I moved from my home town of Portland to Newport in 1971 and have lived in Harbor Village since January of 2012. We are the third owners of the park since I moved here. I started out in Newport with my younger brother commercial salmon fishing in a 21 foot boat that today I would not venture into the bay upon, eventually running a 50 foot trawler. With the ups and downs of the fishery through the years I have worked as a carpenter, cabinet maker, scrimshander, and boatyard worker, going into retirement after returning to the commercial salmon fishery. I find our little village to be one of the nicest neighborhoods in Newport. I look forward to working for the success of our venture.
Board appointed vacancy to be announced.
