Board of Directors

Todd, along with his wife Lisa, moved to HPDL in 1991 and still reside in their “starter” home, along with their dog Sadie. The entire family loves walking around the parks, lakes and to the local restaurants. When he’s not biking downtown to his accounting job with Jellycat, he can be found in his backyard trying to perfect baby back ribs on his grill.

Brad Tetzloff – President

Brad has lived in the Nokomis area for 9 years, first on the East side of Nokomis and then a year later he purchased a house on the north side of the lake in the Hale neighborhood. When he’s not cleaning out his gutters Brad can be found visiting the various Minneapolis eateries, playing broomball in the winter and watching the Twins in the summer. Brad joined the HPDL board to give back to his community and help foster a sense of community in the HPDL neighborhood.

Eve Peterson Topaloglu

Eve has lived in the Diamond Lake neighborhood for the past 9 years. Eve was born and raised in Long Beach, California. Shortly after graduating with a BA in Liberal Studies from University California at Santa Barbara, she chose to give up life on the beach for a fast-paced life in San Francisco. During the dot-com boom Eve managed and marketed trade shows and corporate events for several technology companies. In 2002 Eve and her husband, Ilhami, relocated to Minneapolis. Although Eve misses the ocean and mountains, she loves living in a community where culture, music and outdoor activities are easily accessible. Currently Eve is enjoying time at home with their 4-year-old daughter while looking at graduate programs in organizational leadership.

Sarah Sillers

Sarah has lived in South Minneapolis for the past 11 years and in the Hale neighborhood since October 2009 with her husband, Joshua and 2 daughters. Sarah loves living “in the city” and all of the advantages it provides in culture, entertainment, and diversity. She and her family value the extensive trail system for running, biking, rollerblading, and as a way to attend as many park events and area festivals as there are weekends in a summer. Her background includes a BS in Environmental Studies from the UofM and (after a career shift to health and wellness) a Masters in Kinesiology. She is currently imparting that knowledge on her two daughters in her latest role as primary care giver. It seems to be working as the older daughter’s favorite game is “gym class” and the younger picks up litter where ever she goes.

Jill Ridley

Jill has lived in South Minneapolis her entire life. She moved to the Diamond Lake neighborhood in 1995 with her husband, Dennis. She currently works in accounting at the University of Minnesota. During the warm weather, she enjoys spending time outside walking around the neighborhood or sitting around the koi pond in the backyard.

Paul Linnee

Paul us a new representative for the Diamond Lake neighborhood. He has lived with his wife Jane in the neighborhood since 1972. They started out at 5800 Oakland and then (to escape airplane noise!!) moved one block east to 5800 Park in 1982, where they have been ever since. They raised two daughters (Anne and Maggie) who are now grown, and spend much of their now-retired time babysitting for two pre-school grandkids and traveling internationally. Jane’s career was in advertising at the StarTribune, and Paul worked for the police departments in Burnsville, Richfield and Minneapolis (where he ran the city’s 911 center). He has spent the last 17 years providing consulting services to cities and counties nationwide on matters related to 911 services.

Maria Wrbsky

Maria has lived in the city of Minneapolis for 10 years and recently bought a house in the Diamond Lake neighborhood with her husband Mike and dog Uno. Maria enjoys the nearby parks and trails and is always up to grab a bite to eat or cocktail at the local restaurants with friends and neighbors. The easy access to many bus routes makes commuting to her job in downtown Minneapolis quick and stress-free. She loves the close-knit feeling of her neighborhood and looks forward to helping the area grow and thrive for years to come.

Amelia Frevert

Amelia was born and raised in the Hale neighborhood. Her family actively participated in the neighborhood association while she was growing up. She has enjoyed watching the area blossom over the last two decades. She attended the first Picnic in the Park as a one-year-old, witnessed the bronze bunny come to life, and proudly removed a tire from the creek on Earth Day ’03. Amelia wants to continue her parents work and give back to our fantastic community. You can find her hanging around bridges over the creek or cruising down the parkway on her bike.
