Candidate for
Council Member; City of Yorba Linda

I was born and raised in Southern California with the vast majority of my life spent in North Orange County. I spent my youth in the city of Placentia, attending Ruby Drive Elementary, Topaz Elementary, Kramer Junior High and Valencia High School, graduating in 1981.

Out of high school, I began my training as a Machinist at Fullerton Community College while working at a machine shop in Anaheim. I was certified in 1983.

After substaining an injury on the job, I began a transition into the field of computers. After 8 years of learning and proving myself on the job, I finally became a Software Engineer which I have enjoyed doing for the last 15 years.

Fortunately, I had the love of a wonderful woman who has been by my side through these changes. I have been married to Kim for 19 wonderful years. She grew up in Yorba Linda and provides me with a perspective few today have. I have two great kids, ages 10 and 7. I coach them in the Upward Basketball program at our Church, Rose Drive Friends, and they currently are playing AYSO soccer.

Kim and I moved back to Yorba Linda 5 years ago after living in other parts of North Orange County for several years. We live in a townhouse in the Jamestowne Townhomes community in West Yorba Linda.

My interests in the political process have increased over the last 10 plus years and has spurred my desire to serve my community as a Council Member for the city of Yorba Linda.
