Board Members

Steve Hester

President

I have lived in Holly Tree for 9 years. I work primarily from home, though I do go into the office on occasion. I have 2 wonderful kids, Zechariah and Zoe, and a supportive Husband, Dru. I have enjoyed getting to know our wonderful neighbors and see the BOD as an opportunity to expand our network beyond our cul-de-sac and assure alignment of the BOD with current residents through meaningful representation of community needs. I would like to assure the BOD is responsibly and transparently working to meet the demands of our beautiful community of outstanding neighbors.

Richard Harvey

First Vice President

I'm excited to be joining the board this year! My partner Nicole Glenn and I have been living here in Holly Tree since 2022. We both grew up around Charleston, moving together from there to DC and Charlotte for a couple of years before coming back closer to family to settle in here!

This is my first time serving on a board in this manner, but I have worked as a team guide over the years and am already really enjoying the collaborative group we have. I always try to listen to the feedback of others and provide some of my perspective when necessary.

I’m a very hands on individual, and I enjoy tinkering on vehicles and home projects in my spare time, including lots of 3D design work and fabrication. My current work is in IT, primarily, SharePoint database development, application deployment and customer service. It’s very humbling to be able to hear where someone is struggling with a task and to be able to work with them to improve their day-to-day operations. I will try to incorporate this into my time here with the Holly Tree BOD.

I'm always here to listen and support, and I can’t wait to continue meeting more of this wonderful community.

Barrett Justice

Second Vice President

I grew up in Clinton, South Carolina. I married my husband, Jonathan, in 2010 and we have 3 sweet boys Will, Hudson, and Dean. In 2020, my family moved to Holly Tree. Over the years we have loved this community. The warmth of the people and the natural beauty have made it feel like we have our own peaceful escape from the busyness of the city. I taught high school science for 10 years, but since moving here I have been substituting at our local schools for the last 3 years. I also volunteer with the PTA, and I serve in the kids programs at my church. Community and people have always been important to me. With serving on the HOA as 2nd VP, I want to continue to bring that love of community to this role.

Matt Brodsky

Treasurer

Thank you for allowing me to serve you on the board. My wife and I have lived and raised 3 children in Holly Tree over the last 19 years. We love the community, and I truly cherish this opportunity to be on the board. Please reach out anytime with questions.

Stephanie VanderKnyff

Secretary

I’ve lived in Holly Tree for 7 years. I used to be an archaeologist, but now I stay at home with my two boys who both go to Bethel Elementary. These days, I love volunteering at the Upcountry History Museum and at the Messiah Lutheran Food Pantry. I’m from Roanoke, VA, and I love the mountains. I also love traveling, hiking, and reading. Last year, I read over 40 books!
