Michael Diekman: I am retired and have lived at the lake since 2008. I volunteered with the fire department as a firefighter and medical support for many years. I have served on the Board for three years, the last two as president. I enjoy the work I currently do on the Board for our community and want to continue doing so. I believe my experiences serving the Coffman Bend Fire Association have prepared me to continue as a Board member.

Before retirement in 2022, I worked in the legal field for 25 years in white-collar crime, insurance, and commercial real estate. I live full-time on the Bend with my husband Joe and our three dogs.
