My wife, Crystal, and I have lived in Los Altos for the past 18 years. We love the community, and here raised our five children, all of whom attended the Los Altos public schools. Over the years, I have had many opportunities to serve our community. A few years ago, I purchased the office building at Four Main Street, which provides a charming entrance to the village. We then moved our law practice from Palo Alto to Los Altos. As our children have now moved on to college and careers, I would like to continue a long tradition of service to my community by serving on the Los Altos City Council. Following is a brief outline of my qualifications and prior experience:

  • Law Degree, Hastings Law School.
  • MBA, UC Berkeley.
  • Masters of Public Admin. UC Riverside.
  • 18 year resident of Los Altos.
  • Los Altos Citizens' Financial Advisory Committee.
  • Los Altos Chamber of Commerce, Government Affairs Committee.
  • Los Altos Education Foundation, Board member.
  • Association of Bay Area Governments, Board member.
