2024-2025 Candidate Biographies
Tom Anderson
My name is Tom Anderson. My wife and I moved here 2 years ago from northwest Iowa where we lived for 12 years, and are happy to be close to family and the mountains!
I am currently the Treasurer for King’s Deer HOA and running for the board again. I am proud of our financial accomplishments over the past two years including implementing financial modeling and analysis that identified our financial position challenges, presenting clear factual financial information in annual meetings and town halls, and increasing interest income from $2K to $18K per year by investing unused funds in insured CDs.
I retired two years ago after a long career in corporate finance at Microsoft, Kraft Foods, Longaberger, and most recently Director of Finance and Accounting at Wells Blue Bunny, a $2 billion manufacturer of ice cream and frozen desserts headquartered in Le Mars, IA. My educational background includes an MBA in Finance and Post Baccalaureate of Accountancy, and I have a CPA license (inactive) in the State of Ohio.
I have held various positions on HOA boards in Indiana, Ohio, and Nevada including HOA President and Treasurer, and have been involved in HOA administration since we purchased our first home. I enjoy sports (Go Bears!) and classic cars as well as home improvement projects.
I welcome the opportunity to continue to support our community and make a positive difference.
Ken Harris
Ken, his wife Linda, and their family moved to King’s Deer in 2011. Ken’s career experience is well aligned with the skillset essential to the HOA Board of Directors. This experience includes senior leadership and board participation in the Aerospace industry while engineering many of the most sophisticated space systems ever built. Commonality for the HOA includes gathering the relevant and key information, analyzing and assessing the situation, and ensuring that the best success-oriented decisions are made. Ken has served this past term on the King’s Deer HOA Board of Directors and believes the 10 miles of Trail System are a most valuable asset for King’s Deer, contributing to enjoyment and home valuations. This was his main motivation for moving his family to King’s Deer.
Over the past 8 years since the trails were totally refurbished, they have been damaged by weather, requiring structural repair as opposed to the superficial cosmetic dragging of the loose Pee Gravel to fill erosion ditches. This is more destructive than helpful to the trail’s structural integrity as it continues to wash out with the lightest of rain, having no compaction attributes. After tremendous research this season using Forestry Specialists, Trail Specialists, and our member Commercial Landscaping Expert, Ken established a much better weather-resilient and cost-effective approach. This introduces better materials that match our “earthy-natural” trail look while possessing optimal compaction qualities to repair the erosion ditches and drainage. The cost is less, and the long-term maintenance will be much more friendly with these durability improvements.
Nathan Kettner
I have been a Kings Deer resident for five years and want to do my part by volunteering for the HOA board. I will work with all members of the community to improve our trails and parks while maintaining the quiet beauty of our neighborhood.
Mike Sauer
My beautiful bride of 24 years, Judy, and I, Mike Sauer, moved into our home in Kings Deer in August 2022 from our previous residence of 20 years in Lakewood, CO. While there, I served on the HOA board for 15 years, as President, Vice President, and Treasurer. During that time, I learned the importance of communicating with homeowners, always doing the right thing for the community, and maintaining property values.
Prior to considering running for a position on the board, I felt it was important to understand how this board of directors operates, the board members themselves, and the governing documents for the community. In support of that, I have attended monthly board meetings since February, volunteered in support of board initiatives, and thoroughly reviewed the standards, policies, and covenants.
As the now retired owner of a construction company that provided residential repair and remodeling, I understand the need to be conscientious, truthful, communicative, and operate with integrity in order to succeed. Those qualities come with me in support of giving back to the community in which we reside and cherish.
My goals as a board member are to support ongoing communication with home and property owners, support financial stewardship, and support efforts to ensure Kings Deer remains a highly desired community.
