Sugarhill Board



Meet The Board of Directors

Board President — John Doty

I was born in Denver Colorado in 1950. We were a banking family. My father was an avid fisherman and loved the Bahamas. He was president of the Colorado Bankers Association and owned his own bank that he started in 1956 from scratch. When I was 15 he developed a terminal cancer and decided to put me in St. Andrews Episcopal boarding School in Boca Raton because of the amount of time my mother and he were spending in the Bahamas. He died in my senior year when he was 48 and I was 18. After high school graduation I returned to Denver where I attended the University of Denver majoring in finance. After 2 years I realized I was never going to be a banker. I made a shift to the school of Design at the University. I graduated with a degree in design. My degree made it possible for me to develop successful products for my manufacturing.

Not long after college, I moved to Fayetteville Ar. to start a manufacturing business specializing in interior architectural components (solid hardwood raised panel fireplace mantels and trim moldings). The business was successful with sales in every state and 7 foreign countries. During the 30 year run of my business it was the largest fire threat in the county. I volunteered to help the fire service in the area. I was made the fire-chief after 4 years. I was in that volunteer position for 20 years. I was hired as a reserve EMT-Ambulance medic for 15 years during that time. During the time of running my businesses and doing the volunteer work I was a busy person.

In 1983 I underwent a cervical spinal fusion of one disk. In those days the recovery was 10 days in the hospital. Right before the surgery I had bought a goofy little thing called the Timex/Sinclair personal computer. Using that funky little thing to pass my time in the hospital I taught myself "Basic" computer code and made programs that ultimately improved my manufacturing business production and order tracking enormously. Needless to say I was sold on personal computers and over the years I developed catalogs, advertising, digital product and training videos, and websites. So that's why I am the webmaster for this website.

I've been married to Betty for 45 years. I have 2 adult children and 4 grandchildren.

Board Secretary — David Dangerfield

I am a native South Floridian having grown up in Miami. I am a retired Lutheran Minister. I have served in Boca Raton and Port St Lucie for the past 40 years. I am married to Kathy Roberts who teaches science at Palm Beach Gardens High School.

I am on the board of Sarah's Kitchen, a community meal in St Lucie County serving over 60,000 meals per year. I am also on the board of directors for Alzheimer's Community Care, an organization in Palm Beach, Martin and St Lucie Counties, serving Alzheimer's patients and their families with 12 day care centers and educational programs.

Kathy and I enjoy our families, playing golf and various outdoor activities as well as traveling. We believe that Sugarhill is certainly one of the most unique neighborhoods in South Florida and desire to make it a wonderful neighborhood for all its residents.

Board Treasurer — J Madison Roswell

Having been in the commercial property management business for 25 years, I feel that I can offer the board a wide range of experience and expertise to assist our self-governing association. I am familiar with most aspects of property, including construction and building codes, county permitting and State of Florida real estate and community association guidelines and requirements. I am also around and available to help in a timely manner. I have lived in Sugarhill for 7 years and have my business office in Stuart. I also look forward to serving our community, helping to ensure that we operate a fair and efficient process for all of our homeowners.

Who Want's to Catch Flies?

So this is a very old expression. Dates back to the 1500s. It's literal meaning refers to how flies will get stuck in honey and stay away from you (a good thing).

The human relationship meaning refers to how you treat people. Treat them with sweetness (kindness, compassion, consideration) and you don't have as many problems (flies bothering you). Treat them nasty (vinegar) and your problems will never go away.

We believe in this motto and try to live by it.

The Accuracy of our Staggering Model

Research has been meticulously done over the last year to accurately resolve certain issues in the staggering model. All the work was done using the state documents from sunbiz.org where 100% accurate determination of when officers started or left is in official records. Our research was submitted to our attorney for his review and is ultimately accurate.
