I have been with Arbors Management for 24 years now. Having the opportunity to work in all aspects of the property management field and be a part of the process from start to finish has provided me with the breadth of knowledge that I need for my current position. I obtained my PA RE License in 1994, and have accumulated many hours of training in Fair Housing, Tax Credit Compliance, and Property Management.

Cindy Peterle-Harris

Buon Giorno! I am Cindy Peterle-Harris, the Director of Compliance here at Arbors Management. Although my degrees are in Political Science and the Italian language, I have been working in the affordable housing field since 1980, and with Arbors Management Inc. since 1995: first as a property manager for a senior complex, then as a regional manager, and as the Director of Compliance since 2010. Although it may seem that my education and my profession are worlds apart, I have used my language skills with residents who have limited English proficiency and used the lessons I learned in international diplomacy to maintain peace among neighbors and co-workers. As Director of Compliance, much of my time is spent in research, in teaching, and in problem resolution. I really enjoy working with the managers and staff of our affordable and conventional properties and helping to provide safe and comfortable housing for seniors and families. When not at the office, my husband and I are very involved with our Church and our combined families. With the recent birth of our 10th grandchild, “Grammy” has become my favorite title!

Hi, I am Michael Recklitis and I am the director of maintenance at Arbors Management and have worked for Arbors Management since 1995. I earned a Bachelor of Science Degree in Education and a Master of Science in Marketing Education from the University of Pittsburgh. My state certification in “Building Trades and Maintenance” allowed me to teach many students, who learned the basics of building repair and hand tool usage. I owned a small HUD subsidized apartment building. This ownership helped teach me about subsidized housing, REAC inspection and the required HUD tenant certification needed to rent those units. My position focuses on the physical condition of the many properties managed by the company. I enjoy working as a team member with building staff and have facilitated many property projects with outside contractors and our property staff. I have worked with PHFA Technical Services to complete needed work at other properties that they are involved in. My many interests have included but are not limited to gardening, amateur radio and going to that occasional Penguin, Steelers or Pirate game with my wife. As a boy, I earned the rank of Eagle Scout which helped teach me values and respect. As part of being a scout, I belonged to “The Order of the Arrow” that is Scouting’s National Honor Society which helped strengthen my faith.

Andrea Faulk

Hello, I’m Andrea Faulk, the Director of Administration and Culture at Arbors Management. Before joining Arbors, I had the wonderful opportunity to spend several years as a stay-at-home mom to my three incredible children. I cherished every moment spent at home with them and my husband of over 26 years, attending to their needs, organizing activities, and coordinating their busy schedules. As they grew older, I realized I wanted to return to the workforce and pursue what I do best: planning, organizing, and executing tasks effectively.

Having served as the Marketing and Office Manager for nearly six years, I can truly express my passion for my role. In this position, I manage a wide range of tasks, including creating and designing our advertisements, organizing events, and overseeing our website.

As the Director of Administration and Culture, I find great joy in applying my organizational skills to create effective systems for each position at Arbors. This approach ensures that everyone has the right tools for success in their roles. I believe that making sure individuals have necessary resources is crucial, but just as important is the expression of gratitude through kind words and taking the time to listen.
