​​Candice Drumm, Vice President​

Candice Drumm is a lifelong resident of Oklahoma City and has called the Gatewood neighborhood home for over 35 years. Her passion for historic homes brought her to Gatewood, where she and her husband of 48 years, Clipper, raised their three children.

 

Candice studied Literature at the University of North Dakota before beginning her career at the Oklahoma County Courthouse, where she served as a Judge’s Clerk for 20 years. After retiring, she turned her focus to community service, contributing her time and talents to numerous nonprofit boards.

 

As a proud member of the Gatewood community and its board, Candice is committed to preserving and enhancing the neighborhood and is excited to see all of the board’s projects soon come to life.

He works as a construction consultant and brings a wealth of experience and dedication to his role as treasurer of the neighborhood association. Andy is deeply involved in the Oklahoma City community, serving as president of the Myriad Gardens Community Board, a member of both the Myriad Gardens and Leadership Oklahoma City executive boards, and an alumnus of Leadership Oklahoma Class 32 and LOKC Class 31.

 

In his free time, he enjoys trolling, playing video games, and spending quality time with his family.  

​

Chris Frederick, Board Member​

Originally from Ada, Chris and his wife, Christi, relocated to Gatewood in 2023. For 25 years, Chris taught visual art at Lone Grove High School, just outside of Ardmore, where he developed a dynamic art department offering a wide-ranging curriculum that included painting, ceramics, drawing, sculpture, photography, cinematography, computer graphics and animation. Under his guidance, his students earned hundreds of awards from across the state, and the Lone Grove High School Art Department became widely regarded as one of the best in the state.

In recognition of his dedication, Chris was honored as the 2022 Teacher of the Year for both Lone Grove High School and the Lone Grove School District. Additionally, he was named the 2022 Teacher of Today by the Masonic Fraternity of Oklahoma. Currently, Chris serves as the visual art teacher at Harding Charter Preparatory High School in Oklahoma City. Beyond his teaching role, he is involved in various school initiatives, including sponsoring the Art Club, serving as president of the Good Vibes Committee and mentoring many of the school's younger teachers.

Chris is a professional musician signed with Lamon Records, a division of Sony in Nashville. In 2019, he began collaboration with three other Ada High School alumni and the International Documentary Association of Hollywood to produce a high-profile documentary about the remarkable number of professional musicians hailing from Ada. The film is set to premiere in the summer of 2025.

Michael Kimball, Board Member

Michael Kimball has lived in Gatewood since 2022 and in OKC for most of his adult life. He and his family — wife Susanne and daughters Grace and Emily — previously lived nearby in Linwood Place, where Michael was also on the neighborhood board.

 

Michael is a communications professional with 20 years of local experience in journalism and public relations. He and Susanne met at the University of Oklahoma and married a few years after graduating.

 

The Kimballs attend church and school in Gatewood at St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Church and Rosary Catholic School. Michael had many hobbies and traveled widely before children, but is now a chauffeur and below-average volunteer assistant youth sports coach. It was while living in Gatewood that he completed ownership of all three pillars of the Dads’ Holy Trinity of Outdoor Cooking: a grill, a smoker and a griddle-top.

Wendy Noerdlinger, Board Member

Wendy Noerdlinger has been a proud resident of Gatewood since 2016, having moved from just down the street in Crestwood, where she lived since 2001. She and her husband, John, now call Carey Place home and love greeting neighbors as they pass by—whether walking, running, biking, or scootering—often accompanied by joyful kids and sweet pups.

 

Wendy holds a Master’s degree in Library and Information Studies from the University of Oklahoma and spent two decades working in libraries before taking on her current role as Director of Prospect Management for the OU Foundation.

 

Outside of work, Wendy enjoys a variety of hobbies, with gardening topping the list. She also serves on several boards and is especially excited to contribute to the Gatewood board. Her passion lies in preserving, beautifying, and continuously improving the neighborhood she loves.​​
