Steve Callan

I have been a full time resident of Coffman Bend for 15 years, and have never been happier in my life than since I moved here.  I am a Polymer Chemist, put myself through 10 years of college, have two master’s degrees and have owned my own Polymer Laboratory for 32 years.  I helped the Coffman Bend Fire Association board as a committee member in the past, and have been a Volunteer Fireman here for a few years now.  My wife Nieves and I love this community, have great friends here and believe this place is special in God’s heart.  It is my honor to be considered for the board.

Tamara Marsalla

My husband and I have been in Coffman Bend since 2001, and have participated in the CBFA fund-raising efforts for several years. I frequently attend the board meetings to be able to keep myself updated on the fire department’s needs. I would like to participate even more by becoming a CBFA board member and to help guide the decisions for our volunteer fire department.

I have worked in the Corporate arena for 35+ years, mostly in data centers, with my last position as an IT Project Manager. My husband and I are current business owners in Climax Springs. I would like to utilize my skills and commitment to further support the CBFA.

Melanie Skinner

I have been a homeowner on the Bend since June of 2008.  I am passionate about the area and have the desire to help improve the quality and standards for the residents within Coffman Bend. I have participated in fundraising events such as the Bend Clean Up, the Chili Supper and the Shootout. While employed at IBM I submitted and attained two Grants for the Coffman Bend Fire Association. I am currently serving as the Secretary for the Board and would appreciate a vote from you.
