Luca Casciano
MEET YOUR CANDIDATE
SMA Board Candidate — Santaluz Maintenance Association
The following is a brief Q&A so you can get to know me before casting your vote. I believe you deserve more than a paragraph of credentials. You deserve to know who I am, what I stand for, and exactly why I'm asking for your trust.
Tell us about yourself and your family.
My name is Luca Casciano and my family has called Santaluz home for six years. There are eight of us — plus Kiara, our dog, and whichever young puppy we are currently fostering through Helen Woodward Animal Center. My wife Ester and I have six children. Our oldest is a registered nurse at Scripps Hospital. Two of our children work right here in the community. Daniele is the head lifeguard and swim instructor, and Rebecca leads the Athletics and Recreation Center. Our three youngest, ages 4, 9, and 12, go to school and grow up playing on these trails, parks, and playgrounds every day.
Santaluz is not simply a neighborhood we moved into. It is the place where our family has put down real roots.
Why are you running for the SMA Board?
Honestly, because I have seen how much difference it makes when a governing board truly listens to the people it serves.
The SMA is responsible for the things that shape everyday life in Santaluz: the parks, playgrounds, trails, landscaping, gates, fire brush management, and the streets. These are the parts of the community every resident relies on every day, whether they are members of the Club or not.
I want to make sure these responsibilities are managed with care, fiscal responsibility, and a direct line of communication with the residents who fund and depend on them.
