Declaration & Statement

Terry Leigh

In October 2019, my wife and I toured ORPS for two hours and knew this was where we wanted to live in the winter. We purchased our first lot in November 2020. Since then, we have made many new outstanding friends. Several of them have encouraged me to run for the Board because of my background. I am currently serving on the Safety and Security Committee for ORPS. Experience: For the past 30

years, I have been in the Real Estate business as a Broker, Developer, and Investor. I currently own four real estate offices in Washington State. I have fifty Brokers in three different counties working remotely. I am also the Designated Broker and Vice President of a large rental management firm with over 400 employees. Before being a Realtor, I spent 20 years in uniform, 15 years as a police officer before being injured in a motorcycle accident, and five years in the Army as a Combat Engineer. I served fourteen as a Search and Rescue coordinator and Urban Rescue and Swift Water Rescuer. I spent a few years on the national FEMA team and two years on the Goodwill Games' security development team. Committees, Boards, and Organizations Involvement: A lifetime member of the Masonic fraternity and double past master. Member of the Shriners. Lifetime Member of the VFW, Member of the ELKS. Past Treasurer of the Creek ridge HOA, Past Board Member of the Oakbrook Golf and Country Club, Past President of Protect our Pets in Lakewood WA, and Pioneered the development of a 20-acre dog park. I play Golf, Pickle Ball, Tennis, along with bike riding and working out in my free time. As a Board member, I believe you have to keep an open mind and, in some cases, look outside the box for solutions. I am a forward thinker and continuously make plans for future growth. I will always voice my concerns and speak my mind. Several important issues coming up at ORPS over the next year will significantly impact us. Priorities for me are to keep spending down! Encourage improvements with common sense with everyone's budget in mind.
