John began his career in the HOA industry as Director of Marketing and Business Development for NPG Paving, working closely with community associations throughout the Coachella Valley, San Diego, and Los Angeles regions on large-scale asphalt, concrete, and infrastructure projects. Through this work, he developed a strong foundation in reserve planning, capital improvement projects, vendor coordination, and the operational needs of common-interest developments, which led to his transition into full-time community association management.

In 2016, John joined Desert Resort Management / Associa, where he advanced into large-scale portfolio management, overseeing multiple high-profile associations with combined annual budgets exceeding $20 million. He later served as Director of Marketing and Business Development for Desert Resort Management, before moving into on-site general management, where he has built a reputation for strong leadership, fiscal discipline, and effective collaboration with Boards of Directors, committees, and homeowners.

John specializes in strategic planning, financial oversight, governance support, and vendor contract negotiation, with a proven track record of successfully managing major reserve projects, improving operational efficiency, and maintaining high levels of homeowner satisfaction in large-scale master-planned and condominium communities.

He holds the professional designations Certified Manager of Community Associations (CMCA®), Association Management Specialist (AMS®), and California Community Association Manager (CCAM®).

Stephen M. Kirkland is a Senior Associate Attorney in the Delphi Law Group, LLP. Stephen, a proud kiwi, attended the University of Canterbury, Christchurch, New Zealand, where he received a Bachelor of Arts degree majoring in Philosophy. Stephen came to the United States to play and coach rugby in the early 1990s intending to carry on to London but the North County, San Diego lifestyle quickly changed that plan. Stephen attended the Thomas Jefferson School of Law where he graduated cum laude and as a member of Law Review. Stephen has worked in the common interest development industry since 1991, and as an attorney since 2001. Stephen currently oversees the collections department at Delphi.

While his best years are arguably behind him (he’s the only one arguing), Stephen still plays rugby with his fellow geezers, the KwaZulu Olds Crocs, touring to such exotic locales as Medellin, Prague, Budapest, Lisbon, Buenos Aires, Rio de Janeiro, Granda and Barcelona, to name a few. While the Old Crocs may not win all their games, they have never lost an after-match party. Stephen has recently re-discovered reading for pleasure (“I love my Kindle”) and hopes to soon return to the rail of a sailboat having spent hundreds if not thousands of hours racing on the water (“Ask me about the time we won our class in the Newport to Ensenada regatta.”)
