Joan Moon, Board President
I moved to Colorado in 1989 and have lived in Pleasant Valley since 2012. I have been on the PVNA board since 2015 and President since 2018. I worked for an educational publisher since 1989 and am pretty much retired now |

Bruce Lane
I lived in a small So. Cal town called Eagle Rock, shut down my business in 2008 & moved into my Dent home in PVNA in May 2008. I bought the Dent home on spec in 1992 for $110,000. I retired very early & have been working on a small cabin in Woodland Park for the past 10 years. We have 3 dogs & no kids. |

Carol Corcoran, Secretary
Hi! I’m Carol Corcoran, and I have served on the PVNA Board as Secretary for several years. I’m proud to say that I am a Colorado native and have lived in Pleasant Valley since 1965…one of the old-timers! Needless to say, I have seen many, many changes in those years, some good and some bad. I have three children, all of whom graduated from Coronado High School, and four grandchildren, two of whom also graduated from Coronado. I retired from Shepard’s/McGraw-Hill in 1995. Before my husband, Jim, passed away, we did a lot of camping and traveling. Now I enjoy Tai Chi, bowling, reading, and spending time with all my good friends. |

John Horbacz, Communications
In 1972, I transplanted myself from Chicago to Colorado when I attended grad school in Boulder. After earning my degree, I moved to Colorado Springs in 1973 and worked at Palmer High School. When Doherty High School opened in 1975, I traveled from the west side to the northeast side. At Doherty I taught English until I retired in 2003. In 1977, I moved into the Valley and have been here since then. Shortly after moving to the Valley, I became active in the Association when a local funeral home wanted to purchase land atop the mesa on the west side of the Valley and develop a cemetery up there. At that time, there was a house that had access from the Garden and the mortician wanted to buy it and the surrounding land for the cemetery using the former home’s access. Fortunately, the people in the Valley vociferously objected to City Council, and eventually the City purchased the house and the land and incorporated it into the Garden. I dropped out for a while and then rejoined the Board in 2017 as the person who maintains the web site and who notifies you of upcoming events on Facebook and Nextdoor. |
Chuck Whalen, Treasurer
I retired from my day-to-day work life on August 2, 2019. Having lived in the state of Colorado since 1967, I found my long-term home back in the Colorado Springs area in 1994.
I moved into my HUD return to market home in Pleasant Valley in 1997. What a mess! Things have turned out very well with my home as everything has been updated through the years. Good things take time and if nurtured correctly things will ideally turn out well. The same thing goes for community. The PVNA group is trying to develop many differing approaches to developing a strong community. A good group of people working together!

Elise Basescu
I am happy to be the newest member of the PVNA board. We bought our house at the end of 2019, after living in Colorado Springs four years prior.
Pleasant Valley was our dream neighborhood and we never take a day here for granted. I’m a trail runner and love seeing other neighbors out early on the Garden of the Gods trails.
I was a teacher for 10 years before having my son. Now I am a stay at home mom and an artist. I love connecting young families in all Pleasant Valley has to offer. I can’t wait to continue the already amazing work this board is doing.

I am a newcomer to Colorado and Pleasant Valley. My daughter and her husband also live in the PV neighborhood and through them I learned this was where I wanted to buy my Colorado Springs home. I love the friendliness of our Pleasant Valley residents and enjoy meeting more residents every day. If you see me out walking my golden retriever, Maggie, please stop and introduce yourself.

Carmen Joy Nicks - VicePresident
Hello! I'm Carmen Nicks and thrilled to be a board member for our great neighborhood of Pleasant Valley. When I'm not volunteering with the board, you can find me hiking with my husband or my dog, camping, or strolling to OCC to enjoy a meal or ice cream. We love the neighborhood because of the location, the quietness and the sweet community. Both my husband and I moved to Colorado from out of state and have found our sweet spot here in Colorado Springs and Pleasant Valley. For work, I am a Realtor and love helping others find their perfect neighborhood and home. Look forward to hopefully meeting soon!
