Mauro Messina, a native of North Carolina, lives on Pleasant Grove Lane with his wife Wendy and two teenagers, Patrick and Holly. 

For nearly 19 years, Mauro has served the public in various capacities at both the federal and local government levels.  He believes his professional experience provides valuable insight into the challenges that arise when balancing a community’s needs with those of the individual.  He is eager to apply this experience in his capacity as the Board Chairman and President.

Foremost, it is Mauro’s desire that a voice of moderation exists on the Board.  He envisions the Board’s role to be to one of protecting the property values of the neighborhood by promptly and consistently enforcing the covenants and restrictions, maintaining the common areas, and facilitating the development of neighborhood cohesion and identity.  He is committed to objective decision-making, and integrity and transparency in the conduct of all HOA business.

Mauro holds a Master of Public Administration degree from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte.  In his Master’s thesis, Neighborhood Organizations: Decentralization through Coproduction, Mauro explored the capacity and feasibility of HOAs and similar groups to deliver services traditionally provided by local governments.

When he finds the time, Mauro enjoys photography, camping, and arguing with commentators on the television.

Presently he serves in the Research & Planning Unit of the Mecklenburg County Sheriff’s Office as a Management Analyst.
