PST Leadership + Committees
Our Team
Mark Shantz
President
Mary and I have been married for 47 years. We moved to Squaw Lake in late 2014. We moved from the Rochester Michigan area after all three of our children were raised. Mary and I have 7 wonderful grandchildren. Mary and I love our community and hope in some small ways, we can make a positive difference in our neighbors lives.
Tony Spezia
Vice President
From Squaw to Ponemah and now embracing Four Lakes, I’ve moved around these waters enough to be a true lake aficionado. My beautiful wife, Katie, and our two amazing girls keep me anchored in our lake adventures. As a past president and now VP, I’m all about the well-being and good times on PST – whether it’s enjoying unbeatable sunsets or navigating the river to the Linden Mill Pond in our vintage Boston Whaler. Keeping lake life lively is my mission, and I’m fully committed to making sure these waters are filled with friends, family, and plenty of laughter.
Steve Campana
Treasurer
I am married to Laura for 30 years! We moved to squaw lake in December of 2017 from Grand Blanc, where we had had and raised all of our kids. We have three children. Marina (Brenden her husband) McConiha who have two (soon to be three next month!) children of their own (Raelynne, Montana and soon to be Sutton). We also have twins, Isabella (Justin her husband) Tata and Brenden.
We love lake life and have enjoyed meeting others all around the chain of lakes!
Joann Allen
Secretary
My husband, Scott, and I have been married for 22 wonderful years. In 2020, after raising our children, we followed our hearts to Lake Ponemah—bringing along our two beloved furbabies. Having both grown up on lakes, it felt like coming home. We cherish time on the chain of lakes with family and friends and truly enjoy connecting with our neighbors and welcoming new faces to our community.
Jack Cramer
Trustee
My wife Jennifer and I have lived on the lake since 2017 and we're trailering our boat a few years prior to that. We both grew up in Swartz Creek and have been married since 2003. We enjoy spending time with our adult children, grand puppy, and friends of the lake!
Zack Day
Trustee
I am a lifelong Fenton/Linden resident and have lived on our chain of lakes since November of 2018. I am currently engaged to Kaitlyn and to be married in June of 2025. We have no kids yet, but have two dogs and a cat.
I am a Lead System Engineer at General Dynamics: Land Systems developing future military vehicles for the Army. I graduated from Kettering University (formerly GMI) with a degree in Mechanical Engineering. Kaitlyn is a Veterinarian and works at Towne and Country in Brighton and has her doctorate from MSU.
I’m a huge hockey and golf fan. I grew up playing travel hockey out of flint at a high level and played D3 college hockey as well.
I enjoy spending my free time on the lake and golf course and with my family. I also enjoy helping my lake neighbors when I can. I’ve helped remove trees and other obstacles and even do some boat and home repairs. I like to watch the Facebook page for any hazard alerts and will try to remove or fix the issue when possible.
Brad Eastman
Trustee
I’ve been fortunate to call the PST Chain of Lakes home for the past 20 years, and I’m excited to serve as a trustee to help our community thrive. My wife, Sara, and I are raising our three wonderful kids—Riley, Cole, and Casey—who make life full of fun and adventure. I enjoy spending time with my family and friends on the lake, fishing, and meeting new people who share the same love for the water. Living here has given me countless great memories, and I’m looking forward to making many more while giving back to the place we love.

Lauren Burchart
Events Director
With a background in Interior & Event Design, I love going the extra mile to create unforgettable experiences. My passion is bringing people together, and I’m excited to do just that as part of the PST community.
I live in Linden with my husband, Matt, and our two daughters (along with a few wild animals!).
Summer is our favorite season, filled with lake days, poolside fun, traveling, and making memories right in our own backyard. Our neighbors on Four Lakes have become family over the years, and we look forward to meeting new friends and families on the PST Lakes this summer!

Matt Burchart
Technology
I moved to Fenton in 2009 after graduating from college, having spent many summers as a young child visiting my uncle’s cottage up north, the dream of living on a lake had always been in the back of my mind. In 2009, that dream became a reality, and I never looked back. In 2013, I met my wife, Lauren, who was born and raised in Huntington Woods. Together, we’ve made Fenton our home, and even though we’re no longer direct riparian’s, we still cherish the lakefront lifestyle and the sense of community it offers. Over the past decade, we’ve built lasting friendships and embraced the relaxed, "up north" vibe that makes this area so special.
Now, it’s our turn to share the joys of lake life with our two daughters (Dylan and Stella) and other community members. Being part of this association gives us the opportunity to contribute to our wonderful community and ensure that future generations—both current riparian’s and those to come—can continue to enjoy the beauty of PST. We’re excited to give back and help preserve the spirit of this amazing place we call home.
Carol Halligan
Membership
My husband, Tim Nyman, and I both grew up in Davison. In 2018, after an extensive search for the perfect lake property, we were fortunate to find our home on the Landings Way channel in Fenton. Since then, we’ve enjoyed meeting wonderful neighbors, boating, and sharing the chain of lakes with family and friends. Together, we have four adult children and three grandchildren.
Now, in 2025, we’re navigating the exciting transition into retirement—meaning more time to soak up lake life. A vibrant lake community is important to us, which is why I’m happy to step into the role of Membership Lead. Our $25 annual fee is a small investment for the big returns we all enjoy through our PST Association.
Stephanie Mitchell
Social Media & Merchandise
My husband Tim and I have called the PST chain of lakes home since 2013 — from summer boat days to winter nights skating under the lights, having a lake as our backyard is something I’ll never take for granted. As a girl whose happy place is on a boat, I feel lucky to raise our kids in a place full of nature, adventure, and genuine community. I’ll proudly die on the hill that we live on the best street in America — a real-life version of a wholesome 1980s childhood with bike rides, fireworks, barefoot kids running house to house, and porch drinks with neighbors who are more like family.
When I’m not working, you’ll find me cheering on my kids, exploring new places, or spending time outside with family. I also enjoy volunteering with the Lake Fenton PTO, youth sports, and now, the PST Lake Association. I love being part of a community that values connection, tradition, and the beauty of lake life.
