BOARD OF DIRECTORS

---

Jason is married and has 2 kids, a junior at Westonka and a junior in college at UMD. Jason moved to Mound and Harrisons Bay in 1999. He loves spending time boating whether it be with family and friends or just my wife and I going for a float on Harrisons Bay. He works remotely from home for a company that does software for state Medicaid systems. He heads a team of product and solution architects in the data analytics area. He has volunteered as a planning commissioner for the City since 2015. He chose to volunteer for that position after he went through the variance process and felt he could contribute by volunteering. He is doing the same for Harrisons Bay Association. He sees a need to continue the amazing work that has been done to date and feels he can help contribute to a healthy, clean bay. He has also volunteered extensively through the U of MN Alumni system as well as his fraternal house corporation.

Phil and his wife, Julie, moved into their current house on Harrisons Bay in 1998. They have raised 3 children here and have loved living on this beautiful bay. Phil works for a wine and spirits distributor in Bloomington. He was a board member of HBA from 2022-2024. He and his wife grew up in Minnetonka and Excelsior and have enjoyed the lake their whole lives. Phil has a BS in Biology from the University of Minnesota. Phil believes this is a wonderful movement both for the quality of the bay waters and the surrounding users of the bay. 

Bart moved to Harrisons Bay in 2017 with wife of 30 years, Kari.  They raised 4 children together (who are now grown and in their 20s) across 18 years in Edina where they were both very active in the community.  Bart coached a variety of youth sports through the high school level, including 16 years of volunteer coaching in the hockey association.  Bart and Kari are active lake enthusiasts and have been on the water in some way for a large portion of their adult lives, most of which has been on Lake Minnetonka.  He has been with United Healthgroup (UHG) for more than 21+ years, and now heads up product development/innovation for a variety of consumer driven solutions.  Prior to joining UHG, Bart played an active leadership role in a healthcare industry start up and worked in risk management and financial operations for Wells Fargo (9+ years).  Bart was born and raised in MN, graduating from St. Olaf College and completing graduate MBA coursework from the University of MN Carlson School of Management.  He has previous volunteer/advisory board work with Wooddale Church, the Greater Twin Cities Youth Orchestra, and several start-up companies.  He is passionate about lake life and is committed to finding ways together to make Harrisons Bay as great as it can be.

Kristen and her husband Woody bought their Harrison Bay home in 2023 and are just finishing up with their new build. Woody and Kristen both grew up going to their cabins in the summers and cherish the lifelong memories made then and look forward to many more made on the Bay. Their son Dylan loves to fish, daughter Kelly loves to swim; Woody loves buzzing about in his 1989 Supra and Kristen loves the wildlife and nature that life on Harrisons Bay offers. Kristen feels strongly we need to consider the needs and wants of all who love the lake, but that the wellbeing of the lake, which ties us all together, should be our first consideration in all decisions we make.

 My wife Sheri (see above) and I are happy to call Harrisons Bay home. We've had lots of fun with our children, grandkids, friends and family on the lake. Our engagement with HBA has brought us many new friends which has made living here even better. This is my 2nd stint as HBA treasurer. I tried to give the job away but to no avail.

I grew up in Rochester and relocated to the Twin Cities when I attended the U of MN and got a business degree. For 23 years I was with Great Plains Software/Microsoft where I sold accounting & business management software which gave me lots of experience with working on financial statements. For the past 15 years I have been a Realtor and real estate investor responsible for my own small business. Outside of work I enjoy golfing, travel, cooking and planning our next vacation adventures. I also consider myself a diehard Minnesota sports fan but can't say I have enjoyed that as much since 1991. Thank you fellow Harrisons Bay residents for your giving since 2022 to make this Association possible!

I moved to Harrisons Bay with my husband, Bill, in 2012.  During a busy time in our lives we couldn’t believe how lucky we were to have the lake in our back yard and took advantage of evening boat rides and Lord Fletcher’s dinners.  Now we have 3 grown kids and 4 grandchildren who love hanging at the lake.  Three years ago I retired as an IT Program Manager, a career that focused on managing projects of all types.   

Last summer I joined forces with Jane Anderson as a co-bay captain for Harrisons Bay through the Lake Minnetonka Association.  I found a passion in learning about Lake Management and Conservation and have worked to create relationships with the Minnehaha Creek watershed, DNR, Lake Minnetonka Conservation District, U of MN and other organizations.  I have received training as a Minnesota Water Steward and installed of a raingarden at the end of Overland Lane.  In 2024 I was appointed to the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District Advisory Council where I hope to represent Harrisons Bay and our community to advocate for better water quality.  I am concerned about our water quality and the frequency of algae blooms, the damage that carp do to the ecosystem and the invasion of non-native vegetation that is preventing the healthy native plants to thrive.  In 2024 I was appointed to the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District Advisory Council where I hope to represent Harrisons Bay and our community to advocate for projects that will improve our water quality. Harrisons has a wonderful community of people and I can’t wait to meet more neighbors.
