• Dear Board of Directors / Hiring Manager:
• As an accomplished executive with over two decades of experience leading diverse teams, streamlining complex systems, and delivering sustainable organizational improvements, I am excited to bring my abilities to your organization. My career has consistently proven my ability to transform underperforming assets, implement operational efficiencies, and foster a culture of accountability and service excellence.
• In my most recent role as General Manager at StillWaters Residential Association, I oversaw day-to-day operations for a 2,300-acre community, including key amenities such as golf courses, marinas, and restaurants. I led multimillion-dollar infrastructure and capital improvement projects, restructured financial systems, and introduced innovative service enhancements to support over 1,600 homeowners. My direct leadership style and strategic approach enabled the resolution of longstanding financial discrepancies and elevated the association's operational performance.
• Prior to that, I held executive leadership roles overseeing high-rise condominiums, Homeowner Associations and resort properties across Destin, Panama City Beach, Orlando, and Miramar Beach, Florida. As Vice President of Operations, I directed eleven resorts and mentored a team of 10 general managers. I successfully guided disaster preparedness and recovery efforts during hurricanes, executed complex restoration projects, and built strong partnerships with boards of directors to ensure alignment and accountability. I aided new homeowners buying their first property or other property issues after the purchase, as well as shared areas of the development, performing regular inspections of the property. Over the years, I have dealt with the renters, about quality of the unit(s), property amenities, noise complaints, and rental damage.
• Additionally, as Owner of Griffin’s Custom Wood Designs, I built a successful business from the ground up, showing my enterprising spirit, financial acumen, and client-focused innovation.
• My ability to improve operations, lead high-performing teams, and manage large-scale assets uniquely positions me to add value to your leadership team. I am confident that my comprehensive experience and dedication to operational excellence align with your organization’s goals.
• Thank you for considering my application. I would welcome the opportunity to further discuss how my background and skills can contribute to your continued success. Please feel free to contact me at your convenience to schedule an interview.
