| Steering Committee member bios |
If you'd like a pdf of the member bios, it's here Bob Croft, 718 W. Roosevelt. I grew up in Los Angeles and San Diego, California and moved to Phoenix during high school, studying at Phoenix Central High and ASU. In 1974, I founded C B N Building Maintenance, a metro-wide commercial janitorial service focusing on health, environmental and indoor air quality issues. I moved to F.Q. Story eleven years ago where, in my spare time, I am almost done restoring my 1926 Bungalow, and am currently restoring the 1914 Prairie style office in the Roosevelt neighborhood. I founded, and for 18 years managed the Salt River Brass Band and am a (very) part time instructor in the Music Department at Scottsdale Community College. I’m a member of the City of Phoenix Environmental Quality Commission, and am currently on the Story Steering Committee, and have worked on street lighting and historic preservation issues. You’ll see me walking my three dogs around the neighborhood. Diego Delgadillo, 738 W. Moreland St. Hello neighbors, I consider myself lucky to be surrounded by such beautiful homes and wonderful neighbors. But it's not by luck that FQ Story got its charm and resilience to be a great place to live, it took work, contribution and dedication to make it a great place to live. It is important to participate, no matter in what capacity one chooses. Our diverse support to our neighborhood should be as unique as our FQ Story architecture. Every small deed or action helps to maintain our community. This connection and spirit starts at home and spills out into our streets, to our neighbors and our neighborhood business', then to surrounding parks, library, museums, and into downtown Phoenix. It will take a collective voice to meet our unique needs and a united participation to sustain this charismatic FQ Story neighborhood for years to come. Be a part of this Story. Diane Hochstetler, 1534 W. Culver. Moved
to my Culver home in August 08 – Lived on W. Portland for four years
before that. I love our historic neighborhood and the feeling
of community and caring. I also appreciate the uniqueness of
our historic homes and am in the process of bringing mine back to
its 1936 condition. I’ve been active in our neighborhood association
since 2004 and have so enjoyed serving with my neighbors and becoming
part of our wonderful historic community. Gary Hochstetler, 705 W. Portland. I moved into my home on Portland in December 2003. I have worked as a Computer System Analyst for many years. Currently I am repairing home and business computers. I have served on the Steering Committee for the past 7 years. Xandon & Samantha Keating, 1337 West Willetta Street. We moved to the neighborhood three years ago and feel privileged to be able to live in a neighborhood as unique and friendly as Story. We are very excited at the opportunity to continue to be active members of our community and take part in both Story activities as well as help to work on any neighborhood concerns. We both work as urban planners and feel we could offer valuable insight into any land use issues that confront the neighborhood. Our dogs, Maddie and Buzz, are always excited to meet new neighbors and we are too! Drop by anytime to say hello. Earlene McDonald, 933 W Lynwood. Earlene has lived in Story for 45 years. She’s one of the founding members of the neighborhood steering committee and rejoined the board in 2000. Earlene has also served on the Home Tour Committee for all of its 26 years and was half of the duo that created the original Home Tour. Earlene brings a wealth of historical perspective to neighborhood matters, and would like to serve another year on the committee. In the past, she has also served as Vice-President of the Steering Committee. Joe Zbick, 1105 W. Latham. I moved to Arizona in January of 1996 from Wilkes Barre, Pennsylvania. I grew up in the Rochester, New York area. My wife Susan and I lived in the Willo neighborhood for about 1 year, prior to moving into the FQ Story neighborhood in February of 2000. We had been looking to buy a house in any of the historic neighborhoods and found the one we now live in to be exactly what we were looking for. I am a self employed Structural Engineer. If re-elected, I would like to continue working with the concerns of development/ redevelopment of the immediate surrounding communities, while helping our neighborhood maintain it's charm and character. |
