Hello HLE residents! My name is John Spears, Jr. My

family and I moved to Hurricane Lake Estate in April

2013. I have a beautiful wife named Adrienne, whom I

have been married to for six years and an adorable three-

year old daughter named Gabrielle. My family and I

attend the Breath of Life Church in Bryant, Arkansas. I

enjoy reading, listening to music, photography, technol-

ogy, sports, and spending time with my family. I am

excited to have an opportunity to run for the Board of

Directors in our residential community.

I am a 32 years old and am a native of Pine Bluff. I have

a Bachelors of Science Degree in Mathematics from

Philander Smith College & a Masters of Science Degree

in Transportation Engineering from the University of

Arkansas. I am currently employed at the Arkansas State

Waymond Wade

My family and I moved to Hurricane Lake Estates in March of 2013. My wife Kissmedge & I have 4 children: Rasia, DeShaud, Jarron & Isaiah. I served in the U.S. Navy

from 1988 until 1995, then went on to graduate from the University of Arkansas at Monticello & was employed at Georgia Pacific Paper Mill. Currently I am retired. The main attraction to moving to Hurricane Lake Estates was the lake. You can find me fishing almost every day of the week, except Sunday. On Sundays you’ll find me at Saint Marks Church in Little Rock. I would appreciate your vote for this board position. I love Hurricane Lake Estates and know I can help make positive changes in our community .
