"My wife, Kitty, and I grew up in Carmel and decided upon Irvington when we returned to Indiana after 25 years away because of its great sense of place, the quality of life, and the passion the residents have for the neighborhood. I enjoy volunteering with IDO for a number of reasons, but mostly for the opportunity to be directly involved in activities that contribute to the quality of the neighborhood."

"As a 34-year resident of Irvington and a local business owner, I believe it's important that I be proactive in seeing that there is stability, opportunity and quality of life for those who choose to reside, raise families and possibly work in this historic neighborhood. The Irvington Development Organization can be a key factor in seeing that these goals are met."

At-Large Board Members

Transportation Planner, Bernardin Lochmueller and Associates
My wife and I are newcomers to the Irvington area. Since moving here in spring, 2008, we’ve been overwhelmed by the passion residents feel for their community. I joined IDO to help Irvington remain a strong and vibrant neighborhood of Indianapolis. IDO can help achieve this goal by fostering economic development. I’m excited about the future of our community.

"My wife is from Irvington, and I decided to get involved with IDO because I really want to make a difference in this community."
