AZBNA Endorses (deadline to vote is Friday, February 11th at 5:00pm):

Bill McKay - Biltmore Meridian

I have had a connection with ABEVA since 1984, when my parents bought a winter home on Claremont before relocating to Biltmore Estates (circle). I have served on the ABEVA board since 2018.

I received my BS in International Business at Bowling Green State University and have a fascinating background in consumer-packaged goods (CPG). I inherited my focus on entrepreneurship from my father, who invented the lint roller in 1956. I have served in roles as a fiduciary, advisory, and Honorary Board Member across a variety of CPG companies as well as with Division I college hockey and golf teams. I have also served as Chairman of the Beautification Committee for the past year and have enjoyed working diligently with the five committee members and architectural consultants to discuss how best to invest the accumulated $1 million reserve surplus into our community.

I am passionate about maintaining the historical relevance of the prestigious Biltmore Estates community while protecting our environment and observing the well-thought-out zoning laws for our district. I will appreciate your vote to continue the work to improve our office efficiency and elevate community beauty using our excess reserves for funding.

John Lynch - Village on the Lakes

I am an entrepreneur and a visionary who has started two successful business enterprises, one in the sports management field and the other in publishing. I have also spent time in Chicago working for Motorola Inc., where I served as Director of Sports Marketing for 12 years. My wife, Sue, and I have been married for 46 years and have been blessed with three wonderful children. We have been residents of Arizona for 30 years, having lived in the Biltmore for almost half that time. We currently live in Village on the Lakes, where I serve on the HOA board. We are involved in the community and are presently assisting with serving the homeless at St. Vincent De Paul.

I believe that too much time is wasted in board meetings with very little getting accomplished. Now is the time to make positive change! We need to unify and set our sights on improving and beautifying our community. We live in one of the most prestigious residential communities in all of Arizona, and we need to continue examining all areas that will enhance our property values. I believe that it is imperative that our board listen to homeowners, communicate the objectives, follow the established CC&R’s, and work together for the benefit of all.

Michael Fallaw - Colony Biltmore Greens

My name is Michael Fallaw. I own a home in Colony Biltmore Greens, where my wife and I have lived for 20 years. I was born in Chicago and have a Masters Degree in Finance from The Kellogg Graduate School of Northwestern University. I moved to Phoenix in 1972 from Chicago to work for Southwest Forest Industries, where I held positions as Director of Corporate Development, VP of Packaging and Distribution, and VP of Paper Product Marketing and Sales. I returned to Chicago to purchase a plastic molding company, which I eventually sold to Maclean-Fogg Company where I became President of the Fastner Products Group with annual sales of over $100 million from four factories.

I have five daughters and 23 grandchildren. In retirement, I’ve written two historic novels, “Just Like Me” and “Just Like Home.” I would appreciate your vote to represent you on 2022 ABEVA Board of Directors.

Wesley R. Balmer - Biltmore Greens

Mr. Balmer is President of Balmer Architectural Group, a 41 year old Design Firm located at 24th street and Camelback Road, Phoenix. He has resided in Phoenix since 1971 and in the Biltmore area since 2011.

Over a thousand projects throughout the U.S. and Canada and even Guam have been designed by Mr. Balmer. He was the designer on the Best Western Headquarters and the JDMD Office Building on Arizona Biltmore Circle. His Firm recently completed a noted 630,000sf Office and Production Facility for Northrop-Grumman in Chandler and is known Valley-wide for their design talents.

Mr. Balmer is currently on the Biltmore Greens Design Review Board, the ABEVA Design review Board, and Chandler Airport Center Design Review Board.

Mark E. Baldree, MD - Biltmore Greens

I have lived in Biltmore Greens Ill for eight years now. I am a retired ENT physician that has practiced in Phoenix for 40 years. My past board experience is the Board of Blue Cross and Blue Shield (professional committee/9 years) Board of Trustees Foundation of Medical Care/Arizona, Arizona Golf Association Board, President of the Maricopa Medical Society, Governing Board of Biltmore Surgicenter, Chief of Surgery St. Luke’s Hospital, and multiple other committees and positions at Good Samaritan (now BUMCP), St. Joseph’s and Phoenix Children’s Hospital.

My reason for running for the board is in concert with ABEVA’s mission statement to keep the Biltmore the exquisite neighborhood community that it has always been. Maintaining and improving our community is my goal.

The deadline to vote is Friday, February 11th at 5:00pm
