Board Roster

Christine is a retired real estate assistant and attended Wake Tech Community College.

Christine and her husband, Rex, first visited BHI in 1997 and fell in love with the uniqueness of the island. They purchased a lot and built a home in 2003, which they now reside in as full-time residents. Their boys, Collin and Harrison, enjoyed island life every summer of their childhood. Christine has watched the island evolve over the years and has grown with it while inserting herself whenever possible in areas she felt she would best be of service.

Christine has a background which involves three HOA’s in Wake County, NC; one at its conception and the other two serving on each Board. Christine believes that it is important to give back to our island. To date, she serves as well as leads The Chapel’s BHI Meal Outreach Program, volunteers with the PSA as an emergency Site Team Leader, serves on the BHI Conservancy's House Committee and Co-chairs the BHI Holiday Parade.

Betty worked as an Information Technology Executive and has a BS Mathematics from Duke University and an MBA from Fairleigh Dickinson.

Betty discovered Bald Head Island in her retirement, frequently visiting the island during her 14 years living onboard her vessel, LiLi. Looking to transition back to land, the simplicity and natural beauty of Bald Head seemed like the perfect fit. She bought her home in 2014 and enjoyed the summer months on the island. In 2020, she took up permanent residence.

During the 70's explosion of information technology in the business world, she worked for a variety of companies on the East Coast, primarily responsible for large-scale business automation. She retired from Johnson & Johnson after a 30-year tenure and four company positions a CIO and member of the Management Board. Her work involved program management spanning multiple companies and staff working globally. Coordination, collaboration and accountability for results were her key responsibilities. She also has experience as board president of a non-profit agency, working with minimal resources trying to make a difference in the world ... a very different set of challenges.

Paul has an M.B.A. from the University of Maryland, College Park and a B.A. in Economics and Finance from The Catholic University of America.

Paul and Lori have owned a home on Bald Head Island since 2001. In that time Paul has served as a board member of the Bald Head Island Stage Two Association, serving as president during the transition from developer-controlled to homeowner-controlled. Paul also was elected and served for six years as a board member of the Bald Head Island Club, serving as treasurer for five years and as president for one year.

Joe worked in the international chemical and pharmaceutical business and holds a BS in Industrial Engineering from Virginia Tech and an MBA from The Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania.

Joe has served on the BHI Club Board, the BHI Conservancy Board and the Village of BHI Public Works Committee; chaired the Stage I BHA Architectural Review Committee (5 years during transition from BHI Limited to BHA); and served on numerous special Village study/project teams and committees.

John is a vice-president of supply chain & logistics for an electronics manufacturing company and has worked in the high-tech industry, mostly for Silicon Valley-based companies, for 29 years. He has been involved in the establishment and management of manufacturing facilities in various locations in the United States, Mexico and Brazil. He graduated from West Point with a mechanical engineering degree and served seven years on active duty as an officer in the US Army in Korea, the First Ranger Battalion and in Germany, followed by 14 years in the Army Reserve. He was a Scout leader for 11 years and has two sons who are Eagle Scouts.

John and his wife, Elizabeth, have lived in North Carolina for 26 years, and they first bought a home on Bald Head Island in 2014. They have lived full-time on BHI for over two years, and he has been a member of BHA’s Resource Conservation and Beautification Committee (RCB) and serves on the Village’s Environmental Task Force. John enjoys sailing. He and Elizabeth took their boat to the Bahamas last year and have additional trips planned. John and Elizabeth love living on Bald Head Island and have enjoyed getting involved as volunteers to become an active part of the BHI community.

John and Elizabeth decided to buy a house at BHI within a week of their first visit to the Island because of its beauty and the many wonderful features that make it unique. Now that they are residents, they have come to realize that the people of Bald Head Island are every bit as special as the Island itself.

John says: “Bald Head Island is the perfect blend of controlled development and natural beauty, and I want to help preserve and enhance the elements that attracted us to it in the first place.”

Steve has been an Attorney at Law for the past 28 years. He has been a shareholder at Ogletree, Deakins in Raleigh, NC, since 2000. He attended J.D, Cumberland School of Law and Samford University, and has a B.A. from Rhodes College.

Steve has owned a home on BHI since 2010. It required extensive renovation from the start. Later, when Hurricane Florence heavily damaged his home, he made additional changes. Through his interactions with BHA/ARC both times, he gained perspective on the role of the BHA. He has served as a member of the BHI Club Golf Committee and Nominating Committee.

As an attorney, Steve will bring a strong track record of analyzing and resolving complex issues. He's found that the best way to resolve a problem is to listen, without judgment, and communicate clearly and without delay. In addition to his responsibility for client relationships and client budgets, he also built and managed a team. He's learned the hard challenge of achieving business growth while navigating bureaucratic regulation.
