I was born in Pasadena Calif. and grew up there until serving in the Navy during the Vietnam War. In 1986 I moved to Friendly Hills and just a few years later joined the F.H.P.O.A.

I served on the Murphy Ranch Little League Board, was President of the Friends of La Serna; spent 8 years on the Design Review Board for the City of Whittier. In addition the these I had the opportunity to serve as a Board Member for the California Youth Authority with the Citizens Advisory Council. In the late 90s I joined the Presbyterian Hospitals Foundation Board and served as Vice Chair for several years. I raised four Children in my first Friendly Hills Home and have since moved to Friendly Woods Estates where Diane and I now reside. I have been on the F.H.P.O.A. board for over 20 years and am serving my second term as your President.

 Mr. Enrique Hernandez, Area Improvements

Enrique_HernandezI would like to take this opportunity to introduce myself. My name is Enrique Hernandez and I have been a member on the Board of the Friendly Hills Property Owners Association (FHPOA) for 6 years. My wife Shawna and I along with our two daughters Naomi and Isabella have lived in Whittier since 2003, the last 10 years here in Friendly Hills. One of the first decisions we made after starting a family, was deciding where we would raise our children, focusing on looking for a community that was beautiful, peaceful, and safe. For my wife, a life time Whittier area resident, there was no better place than Friendly Hills. This community has so much to offer a young family, such as great parks and schools. We have always believed that building a strong community starts as an individual responsibility and that our community is only as strong as we make it. It is with this feeling of commitment that I continue to serve on the FHPOA Board and our community.
