Executive Committee
Gordon Stock, President, Ronoke Avenue
Gordon, his wife Nicolette, and their two sons have lived in Deer Park since 2021. Gordon's journey has taken him across the country and around the world, starting at 17 when he attended West Point. Following graduation, he served as an Infantry Officer at Fort Benning, Georgia, and Fort Hood, Texas, with a deployment to Afghanistan. From there, he attended law school at CU Boulder and is now stationed at Fort Knox, Kentucky, serving as an Army Judge Advocate (JAG), specifically as a prosecutor. Though he's lived in many places, Deer Park is the first place that has truly felt like home. Shortly after moving to Deer Park, he was deployed to Kuwait, leaving his wife in a new town with an 18-month-old and a 3-year-old, juggling remote work and COVID closures. From day one, Deer Park neighbors embraced them and became a lifeline. Their continued friendship and presence in their lives is immeasurable and highlights the spirit of our Deer Park community.
Seth Manning, Vice President, Stevens Avenue
Seth and his husband, Russell, have lived on Stevens Ave. since 2013. They have two dogs, Donut and Hashbrown. Seth is a fourth grade teacher and has been teaching for over 25 years. He also has a love for gardening and is excited about taking advantage of the neighborhood tree planting program. (Two trees to be planted in 2021!) Seth and Russell enjoy travelling and spoiling their many nieces and nephews. Seth became a board member to better serve his community and continue to make Deer Park the best neighborhood in our city!
Curtis Stauffer, Secretary, Maplewood Place
Curtis has lived in Deer Park since 2011 with his wife, Rachel Cutler. They have a 3 year old daughter who occasionally joins DPNA meetings. Curtis works for Kentucky Housing Corporation in Frankfort with prior positions that include Assistant Director of Louisville Metro Government’s Develop Louisville Office of Housing & Community Development, Executive Director of the Homeless & Housing Coalition of Kentucky in Frankfort, and Development Director/Advocacy Project Coordinator for Metropolitan Housing Coalition in Louisville. He also volunteers as as a member of the ACLU of Kentucky Board of Directors and the St. John Center for Homeless Men Program Committee. A native of Yarmouth, ME, Curtis lived in Jackson, WY, Philadelphia, PA, Summit County, CO, and St. Paul, MN before moving to Louisville in 2010. He enjoys cycling, hiking, playing the drums, and walks through the park with the family dog.
Jeff Hughes, Treasurer, Richmond Drive
After 20 years in Louisville’s east end, Jeff Hughes and wife Carolyn moved to Richmond Drive in 2014. Jeff, a native Ohioan, is recently retired from finance and marketing jobs at Assurant, Inc. and GE. Deer Park is perfect for Jeff and Carolyn to live this next “chapter” in their lives, especially since their son, Tom, lives a mile away. Jeff wants to give back to the community through volunteerism and being active in his Deer Park neighborhood. Jeff likes travel, hiking, cycling, astronomy, reading, and DIY projects and landscaping around their new (old) Highlands house.

Alan Scherer, Board Member Emeritus
Alan served on the Deer Park board for 40 years. He served as President at different times for 14 years. He received numerous awards, including the neighborhood president of the year, the Bell award, and other honors. He was appointed to the Bardstown Overlay committee by then-mayor Jerry Abramson, where he served 10 years. Alan was responsible for the "No" campaign against a 24 hour service station at Eastern Parkway and Bardstown Road. He led the association to opposing movie theaters and a dance club at the Schuster building. The theaters decided instead to locate at Mid-City Mall. He led the Steven Avenue residents in P.R.I.D.E, Proud Residents in Defense of the Environment. He also worked to support relocating Plasma Alliance from Stevens Avenue and Bardstown Road to Crums Lane. This led to the revitalization of Bardstown Road, and Seviche is now located there. Alan was a neighborhood activist and believed Deer Park is the best place to live, raise a family, eat, and retire.
