2005 CANDIDATE BIOGRAPHIES

Mark Cyr
25 Addy Road
I am honored to be running for the Board of Middlesex Beach Association. Here is an introductory paragraph about myself: Mark Cyr is a Minister in the Episcopal Diocese of New York. He is currently the Information Technology Manager for the Diocese after serving as rector for a parish for over ten years. His interest in computers led him to help found the Warwick Valley PC User Group, of which he was an active Board member for five years. His wife Margie is a native Delmarvian who introduced Mark to the Eastern Shore about ten years ago and they have enjoyed vacationing here ever since. They have been residents of 25 Addy Road since the Fall of 1997.
Jennifer Kazemzadeh
6 Dune Road
I grew up in Maryland. My family usually went to the North Carolina and South Carolina beaches. I didn't discover the Delaware beaches until I was a teenager. My husband and I were lucky enough to find Middlesex Beach after owning a home in North Bethany. We have always loved being anywhere near a beach and have really come to appreciate the ammenities that Middlesex Beach has given our family. I'm often reminded o fthe neighborhood that I grew up in with my five sisters. There are very few neighborhoods left that enjoy the safety, friendliness and the cleanliness that Middlesex has.
My three sons keep my very busy. I'm very involved in school and sport activities. I am also Vice President of our corporation of gas/convenience stations in the DC area. I volunteer at Brooke Grove Nursing Home and our local Church. I am hoping that I can contribute the skills I've acquired to make a positive impact on our community. I look forward to meeting more neighbors and remain open to any feedback to preserve and maintain Middlesex Beach.
Dave Wiecking
15 Dune Road
I was born, raised and still live in Bethesda, MD, and have been a Middlesex Beach homeowner since purchasing 15 Dune Road with my father in 1991. We vacationed in Middlesex Beach since the early 1980's, and the Bethany area since the early 1960's. A Civil Engineering Graduate of the University of Maryland, I worked as Patent Examiner at the US Patent and Trademark Office for over 15 years. I left the USPTO in 1997 to start my own computer/telecommunications consulting business.
Starting with the great January storm of 1992, I began periodically photographing the beach from the Addy Road walkway. I was never sure what to do with the pictures until the Internet was developed and I made Web pages out of them. This eventually led me to develop the "Unofficial Middlesex Beach Website", by which attempted to pass along information pertinent to homeowners.
Since being elected to the Board in 2001, I have served as Secretary, Vice President and President. I have spent extensive time working on dune maintenance, drainage, beach privacy, the website, and newsletters. I have enjoyed working with the other members of the Board, and would not be running again if I didn't feel that I have made a difference in our community.
