Meet Your Board Members
Kaja-Anne Jezycki - President
Kaja-Anne Jezycki (pronounced “Kiya”) realized a life-long dream when she and her husband began building a cabin in the amazing community of Ponderosa Springs in 2011. After years of working as an inhouse counsel for a variety of companies involving lots of work travel, Kaja yearned for a place easy to access from the Valley where she could relax from the moment she opens the door of her car and smells the pine trees. Kaja and her husband Steve enjoy the outdoors working on their property, riding and hiking local trails, fishing the Rim lakes, learning about the history of the area and watching the summer monsoons gather while relaxing on their deck. (If you listen closely, you can hear them ring the “rain bell” when a measurable amount of rain is detected in their weather station!) They have rescue dogs who all love the cabin.
​
In addition to being an attorney, Kaja is a real estate broker with a focus on helping people find their dream cabins. Her husband is an engineer and an A&P mechanic specializing in electrical systems on aircraft. When they are not at their cabin, they are down in the Valley in Queen Creek. In addition to frequent trips to the Rim, they enjoy planes, trains and automobiles.
Robin Shearer - Vice President
Robin and her husband, Bill, moved to Ponderosa Springs as full-time residents from Cave Creek, AZ, in May of 2021.
Robin formerly worked as a Legal Assistant with the Arizona Attorney General's Office. To mirror her sons' school schedules, she eventually accepted an Administrative Assistant position with their local school district. She also volunteered for Valley dog rescues as a foster-mom and a coordinator of adoption events.
Her husband is a Plumbing/General Contractor who serves our community, surrounding areas and Metro Phoenix.
Robin and Bill enjoy exploring the area by riding and hiking trails, viewing our beautiful wildlife, getting to know fellow residents, working on their property, and, of course, their beloved dogs.
Tom Hiscox - Secretary
I’ve been associated with Ponderosa Springs since the early 1960s when my parents bought their lots, and after my high school graduation in 1965 I spent the summer here working with the carpenters framing in the original cabin. When settling my parents estate, my wife and I decided we wanted to retire here and purchased the property. We expanded the original building and moved here in late 2004 from Connecticut. I was born in New York and moved to Scottsdale while still in grade school and graduated from Scottsdale High School in 1965.
I have three grown children and five grandchildren. I’m a US Army veteran. I had a wonderful 40+ year career in minerals engineering working for mines worldwide involved in extracting base metals, precious metals, uranium, and industrial minerals. It was a great career, but retirement is even better! I now spend my time with my camera chasing trains and shooting the milky way in our beautiful part of the world.
​
I've recently remarried after being widowed in 2013 and my wife Kay and I now plan to full time here in Ponderosa Springs.
