DARREN DICKOUT
My name is Darren Dickout and I moved to Hidden Forest with my family in 2016. We love being a part of this community and participating in the many opportunities available to interact with our neighbors. My wife, Kristin, grew up in the area and currently works at Churchill High School. Our son is currently in 4th grade at Hidden Forest Elementary and our daughter just started 6th grade at Bradley Middle School. Our kids are heavily involved in school and community activities including art and music, sports and service.
Late last year I was encouraged to attend the HF BOD meeting. I have been attending the meetings ever since and have also been made a BOD member at large allowing me to participate in the meetings but not vote. I would love the opportunity to continue serving my community as a full-on board member and my past experience prepares me well to serve in a larger role. As a former teacher and school administrator, I have the skills required to listen, inform and communicate very well in addition understanding budgets and numbers. My background in physics and energy management enables me to understand the physical and mechanical details of many of the neighborhood's systems and structures. Finally, as a real estate professional, I understand the importance of an effective HOA along with well-maintained amenities and the effect that these have on the neighborhood as a whole. I have also been a part of numerous committees and focus groups along the way.
