Candidate for
Board Member; Woodbridge Rural County Fire Protection District

I grew up in Sacramento and then spent 7 years in the US Navy. I married my wife, Linda, in 1980 and lived 6 years in Fresno, where our two sons were born. We then moved to Tower Park Village, in Terminous, just a few miles outside of Lodi in 1986. I have always been happy with our decision to live in the Village. We have several close friends living there and it is a fabulous area to raise a family.

In the time I have lived here I have worked in Stockton, Lodi and Walnut Grove. I have worked as a Repair Technician, Technical Services Manager, Product Manager, Customer Service Representative, an Operations Manager and am currently working as a Software Consultant. I have had experience managing personnel, working with a variety of people and solving problems. I try to listen to all sides of an issue before making a decision.

I found that when I volunteered to work on the Board of Directors in Tower Park I was able to learn quite a lot about the inner workings of the Village. I know that I wouldn't have been able to gain that knowledge without being on the Board. As for the Fire District, I have been to a couple of the Board meetings thus far and they have also been very educational. I would encourage anyone, if you have the opportunity, to stop in and check out what is happening in the District. Typically, the meetings are the third Wednesday of each month and the time is usually 10am. I am ready to represent the constituents of the District and I would appreciate your vote on November 7th.
