Our Principles

Jack and Melissa Baker established CAM in 2001 and have been the dedicated owner-operators ever since. As a locally owned and operated company, CAM demonstrates their commitment to the community. Both Jack and Melissa are proud alumni of the University of Texas at Austin. 

Jack, serving as the president of the company and holding CMCA and AMS designations, spearheads the management efforts. He actively engages with Boards of directors and committees, offering personal assistance in meetings and providing valuable consultation for sound decision-making in diverse HOAs, POAs, and condominium communities. As part of his leadership role, Jack mentors our newest managers, Greg Johnson and Stacy Knispel.

Melissa, a native Austinite, oversees the financial operations and data management of CAM’s communities with the assistance of Executive Administrator Amy Duncan, Accounting Manager Steve Grubbs, and Administrative Assistant Madeline Nick. This department includes responsibilities such as preparing and reviewing financial reports, account receivables and payables, budget development, gate operations and data management.

Together, Jack and Melissa have fostered a management team dedicated to customer service, with a mission to enhance communities and elevate the board experience. Their collective efforts showcase a commitment to excellence and community improvement.

Some of Jack and Melissa’s combined experience includes the following:

• Providing continuity for association leadership
