President:
Peter H. Mason
Peter Mason and his wife Lynne Milia Mason are 2nd generation Winter Park Pines Residents. Lynne’s parents (Kip & Audrey) bought their house on Banchory Road in 1980. Kip passed away in 1983 and Audrey in 2013 at the age of 90. Peter & Lynne kept the house, paid the association dues each year and maintained it until they moved back to Florida in 2018. Peter had previously lived in Orlando for 15 years. Lynne moved to Florida in 1970 and remained until Peter & Lynne married in 1999. Lynne’s daughter, Tracy Cashon, grew up on Dunraven Drive in Kenilworth Shores and attended Brookshire, Glenridge and Winter Park High School.
Peter grew up in Maine and Lynne in New Jersey. After they were married, they lived in FL, NY, Alberta (Canada) and CT before moving back to Florida. Peter is a retired hotelier for nearly 40 years mainly as a corporate operations executive and he traveled throughout the US and Canada. Lynne is retired from the Orange County School System where she worked for 27 years with her last position as Principal at Durrance Elementary.
Peter has been involved in another non-profit board for several decades that owns & runs a residential boys camp in Maine (Camp Agawam) that his grandfather started in 1919. Over the years on the Agawam Council Board, Peter was chair of the HR Committee & Plant Committees, Vice President and was the President of the organization from 2015 – 2018. Peter volunteered for annual work days at the camp and raised funds playing in its tennis marathons. Peter also volunteered for Paul Newman’s Hole in the Wall Gang Camp in CT where he raised money for 9 years riding in their annual 100 kilometer bike event as a top individual fundraiser.
Following their move back to Florida, they embarked on a 2 year expansion & renovation of their house on Banchory Road. Now that it is finished they are enjoying their expanded living space & new pool. Peter can be found several days a week playing tennis at WPTC.
Peter started regularly attending the monthly WPPCA board meetings in January 2019 and has volunteered to help plant bushes at the mall entrance, distribute dues letters to residents, was on the 2020 entrance sign committee and volunteered as a poll worker on behalf of the association. They were also a Yard of the Month winner in November 2019.
They love living in Winter Park Pines with the friendly neighbors, close proximity to doctors, restaurants & shopping, walking the neighborhoods, using the Cady Way trail and being close to the airport. Peter & Lynne are enjoying their retirement years in the great Pines community.
Treasurer - William Colby Roof
“Colby” moved to Winter Park Pines with his then-fiancee, Ashley, in 2015, just a few blocks south from Ashley’s parents and childhood home. They have shared a number of milestones together since moving in, including the blessings of marriage and parenthood, as well as the misery of home renovation projects. (Colby enjoys a dry sense of humor.) Colby’s family enjoys the benefits of living in “the Pines,” which offers quick-access to all that Central Florida has to offer with its proximity to Baldwin Park, Park Avenue, Downtown Orlando, 408, 417, and I-4. Colby is a practicing attorney and honors graduate of the University of Florida Levin College of Law. He has represented clients in state and federal court—including many disputes that resulted in jury trials, arbitration, and mediation. Likewise, Colby has represented clients in the negotiation and drafting of important documents designed to protect and insure their interests. Colby is excited to contribute to the WPPCA as the Treasurer beginning in Fall 2023.
Director – Events Chair:
Michelle Deleon
I was born in NYC, moved to California as an infant and spent most of my childhood in the San Luis Obispo area. My 20+ year corporate career included roles in Human Resources and Management for Fortune 500 companies. These positions led me to relocate 3 times; to Portland, Oregon, a 2-year assignment in Berlin, Germany, and to Orlando. I met my husband Art in 2016. Early in our courtship, he bought our home in Winter Park Pines, which is the perfect neighborhood for us! Our son Raymond was born in 2019. Once I became a mom, I decided to turn my passion for real estate into a full-time career. I am very happy to be working for Berkshire Hathaway Home Services, Florida Realty, which is right here in Winter Park. Our brokerage prides itself on providing best-in-class experiences for our customers by offering personalized services. When I’m not working, I love traveling, cooking, wine tasting, and free yoga, which I plan and organize monthly for our neighborhood at the Winter Pines Golf Course. You will likely see me riding my bike on Cady Way Trail down and around Baldwin Lake, walking the Golfside loop with our mini-goldendoodle “Goldie”, or at one of the nearby parks with Raymond.

He works alongside top developers, architects, and business owners to produce themed experiences for every project ranging from large-scale master-planned communities, mixed-use developments and multi-family residential properties to cultural attractions, award-winning restaurants, and boutique hotels and resorts. He is an avid speaker on arts-based placemaking and new urbanism and currently serves as an appointed member of the Historic Preservation Board for the City of Orlando under the leadership of Mayor Buddy Dyer.

He has also served as past-Chairman for the Downtown Arts District in Orlando, as a trustee for the Neon Museum in Las Vegas and the Museum of Design in Atlanta.
Shanon is the father of two incredible boys, Shawn (7) and Charlie (5), who both attend Brookshire Elementary School.

1st Vice President & Director - Digital Chair:
Joseph McCluan
My name is Joseph McCluan and I am looking forward to being able to serve on the Winter Park Pines Community Association. I am relatively new to the neighborhood living off Abbey Ct. since 2019. I do however have family that have been living in the Pines for many years. My wife has been a resident since 2009 and her parents have been here since 1999 so there is long history of our family residing here. All together my family resides in five different homes in the Pines. I have spent the last 34 years as a Firefighter/Paramedic working for the Ocoee Fire Department, Seminole County Fire Rescue and ultimately retiring after 26 years with the Orlando Fire Department as a District Chief. Now that I am retired I am excited to be able to be more involved in our community.
2nd Vice President & Director – Needles Editor & Graphic Designer & Needles Distribution Coordinator:
Denise Ertler
Along with her family, Denise came to the Pines in 1970 from Spokane Washington. Her father just retired from the USAF as many were doing during those years. After an existence of never staying in one place for more than four years, The Pines was the perfect spot on the map to start over. After marrying and moving away for a period of time she returned in 1990 to the same home she knew. Like many in the Pines neighborhood she considers herself to be a “Pines Second Generation”, living in the home her parents built. Denise was professionally involved in the ceramic industry for more than 40 years, as a studio owner, retailer, instructor and professional potter. She received a degree in Graphic Design later in life with the goal of working in both fields.Now retired, Denise spends her time enjoying the company of her granddaughter, traveling, playing in clay, volunteering and waiting for her husband to retire!Denise became active with the WPPA board to be part of a caring community which is actively growing and constantly changing. “It’s a good place to be”.
Director – Membership Chair: Melissa Johnson
I grew up in Ft. Myers, Florida and moved to Orlando to attend the University of Central Florida where I received a Bachelor's Degree in Elementary Education. I taught for almost two decades and decided to trade in my educator’s hat for a job as a full-time home matchmaker, interior decorator, and sometimes counselor; aka: a REALTOR®. I also run a local lifestyle brand called Florida Living with Melissa.
While attending the University of Central Florida, I lived in an apartment in Winter Park. We would drive to Cady Way Trail to use the bike trail or get lost walking the sidewalks in the Pines. From my younger days in college, I always hoped to one day live in the Pines.
Which is exactly what I did! After graduation and landing my first teaching position at a nearby school in 1994, I rented a home in the Pines and immediately fell in love with the neighborhood. Fast forward to 1998 my husband and I purchased our first home in the Pines.
Two kids later and wanting to get involved in the community, I joined the WPPCA board as the Secretary. As our boys got older, they started playing sports and getting involved in school activities. Therefore, it was time to pass the baton on to another member of the community. Fast forward 11 years later, our boys are both almost grown, giving me more time to rejoin the WPPCA. My family and I have lived in the Pines for over 27 years and can not imagine living anywhere else.

Carol Utegaard Magierski
I was born a Navy Brat and moved here when my folks bought their retirement home here in 1973. I attended Glenridge Junior High and Winter Park High, graduating with a degree in Social Work from UCF. After my parents passed away, my husband, Tom, 2 sons, and I moved back into the house. With remodeling and updating, we have made it our home since 1994. The schools and all the local amenities were what drew my folks to the area and it was those same things that brought me back to my teenage home.
I retired after 35 years with Orange County Corrections/Community Corrections. It was a very rewarding career, but I am thoroughly enjoying my retirement. Most days start at the Crosby Wellness Center with a good work out. I love spending time with my family and friends, keeping a very busy social calendar. Currently, I am working towards a bucket list goal of visiting all 50 states, and I am over half way there.
I look forward to participating in the WPPCA and to help keep Winter Park Pines a wonderful place for all of us to live.

I'm a Florida native born and raised around the Miami area. I moved to Orlando in early 2016 for a new job opportunity and quickly fell in love with this city. I ended up meeting my husband and together we bought our dream home in Winter Park Pines in October of 2021. Within our first year here we made great friends and realized that our community is special. I wanted to volunteer my time back to the Pines as it has been so welcoming to my husband - Patrick, my dog - Ruben and I. I'm an avid gardener and currently grow lemons, limes, peppers, cucumbers, tomatoes, passionfruit and more. Patrick and I love to use the walking trails and you can usually find us early in the morning, in the afternoon or around sunset walking our dog and catching up with some neighbors.
