Candidate Statements

BIO for Jordan Epperson:

Hi, My name is Jordan Epperson I am a resident on Road 1 in Hawaiian Acres and I would like to apply to be on the Hawaiian Acres Road Corporation board of directors. I have been the Road 1 representative since 2018 and was previously a board member in 2018 and 2019. I have a new interest in being on the board because after several years of watching the board operate and doing some more research I finally feel that I could have some valuable input in how to address the complicated lack of infrastructure issue we have here in the Acres. Please consider my application. Thank you, Jordan Epperson

BIO for Marie Baird:
My name is Marie Baird. I have lived all over Hawaiian Acres since 1990. I knew when I first came that I was “home” and in 1996 I was finally able to purchase my own property on 5 Road near G. I have been living my life here happily since.

I started out by getting to know our children by becoming a school crossing guard in Keaau Elementary School. It was wonderful. I loved working with and adored talking to all our keiki on the corner. I was also selling real estate at the time and helped to build our puna neighborhoods.

In 1999, I decided to say goodbye to all the children and go back to school and become the RN I had always wanted to be. After graduating I worked at Hilo Medical Center in the medical unit. I loved working with patients but eventually age took over and I retired in December of 2019.

Being retired, I had some free time and was able to donate some of my time by volunteering. After attending a HARC meeting, I saw how devoted Geneva the current president was and decided to help out how ever I could that didn’t take manual labor. I am older with a bad back.

I added my name to the ballot for the 2020 election and became secretary pro-temp I also now volunteer to help moderate the Facebook page and have been part of the HARC board for 1 year.

BIO for Alex Hebeisen:
Aloha, my name is Alex Hebeisen and I bought property in April 2020, and I’m happy to be working with the land, and the community. Since I’ve moved to the acres, I have been volunteering with the roads whenever I can. I have worked labor intensive jobs in the construction industry since 2005, and I’m not afraid of hard work. I have thick skin, I’m a good listener, and I love where I live. I knew what the roads looked like before I moved here, and I embraced it, but I also have volunteered to fill potholes and assist with Fallen trees when needed.
I hope to become a more active member of our community, and to continue to help whenever needed.
Mahalo,
Alex H
