Fred Herman
Fred is our Man of all Seasons, and would rather be out showing property, especially home sites and acreages, than being in the office. Fred is very community minded and serves our area on several Boards of Directors, including the Ozark Health Foundation Board as President and the Petit Jean Electric Cooperative Board of Directors. He serves as a Deacon at Fairfield Bay Baptist Church, sings in the choir, and is a substitute Sunday School Teacher. Fred enjoys working on their property outside of Fairfield Bay, gardening, nature-watching, hunting, and hiking.We have lived here and loved the resort lifestyle since 1985 when Fred came as the Tennis Director. He served in that capacity for 13 years before being “pressed into service” with the agency! He jokes that his job is “to take out the trash and put up signs”! But don’t be fooled by that . . . . he loves helping people to learn about Fairfield Bay and to find the right property to fit their needs without high-pressured salesmanship.

Manager and Executive Office Secretary prior to that. When she and Fred moved here, she was the Tennis Pro Shop Manager, then did training, personnel, & customer service for Fairfield Communities, Inc.
What else does she enjoy during her limited off-work hours? Cooking, traveling, checking out flea markets, and her commitment to different areas of service through their church….singing in choir and providing solos or playing piano, Secretary of Personnel Committee, serving on the Music Committee, Women’s Ministry, and missions projects.
