Masthope is a fast growing four seasons single home private community situated in the most northern tier of the Pocono Mountains.

The Masthope Board of Directors provides professional, selfless, volunteer service to the Masthope Mountain Community Property Owners Council. Board meetings are held every month as well as three General Membership meetings. Property owners are encouraged to attend these very important meetings which are advertised in the Weekly Messages as well as the quarterly Newsletter.

Gerhard Buhler (7/2019-7/2022)

Board Treasurer. Given my long term professional experience in Physics Research, Engineering, and IT Management, I am looking forward to help our Community with my expertise in Technology and Data Management, Operations, Process Improvements and Budget Management. I will put my energy, knowledge and skills into making sure that Masthope continues to be run for the benefit of its residents. My wife and I can be found most weekends in Masthope where we enjoy the many amenities, facilities, and the environment that all together make Masthope so special. If you have any suggestions, concerns or questions, please feel free to contact me at gbuhler@masthope.org

My goal is to continue the success of the association of being a premier four season family community which requires a lot of continuing effort from our professional and volunteer staff and members. I presently serve on the Strategic Planning Committee.

Anthony Falcone (7/2019-7/2022)

My name is Anthony Falcone. (Board Secretary) I am married to my wife JoAnn for 16 years. We have 3 wonderful children, Joseph 14, Frank 12, and Ellana 8. We have been a part of the Masthope Community since 2014. Throughout our time in Masthope, we’ve met some great people and have made many friends. In 2013, I retired from the New York City Police Department after 23 years of dedicated service, 18 of which were as a supervisor (Lieutenant, Sergeant). Throughout my career I served in many roles and assignments (School Safety Liaison, Personnel Management and Counterterrorism). I believe that my vast experience in managerial positions within the Police Department can be a valuable asset to the Board as well as the residents of the Masthope Community. I will dedicate my efforts to seek out community member’s ideas/recommendations in an effort to achieve the common goal of maintaining and improving on the great amenities and service that the Masthope Mountain Community offers.
