ADAM RAVAT

My name is Adam Ravat, and I grew up in the Pines and attended Frostwood, Memorial Middle and Memorial High School. My parents still live in the Pines and so do my brother and his family. I live one block away and consider this place my home. Prior to Harvey, my family owned several units at the Pines, upstairs and downstairs. After Harvey, we purchased several more units with the intention to restore and rebuild the Pines. My goal in running for the Board is to maximize the property value as well as the efficiency of the management operation.

I believe I can continue to contribute my time, hard work and knowledge of the By-Laws and Declaration of our community. I will pledge to continue to work with the Board so that we are transparent and thorough in the actions we take on behalf of our community. Information will be easily accessible to all homeowners. I will continue to work with other Board members towards auditing and recovering the Pines homeowner funds that were spent without proper notice of vote or consideration. I feel particularly proud of how far the new Board has come in such a short period of time. I am a full-time resident of the Pines and have been for over 20 years.
