I have been involved in local organizations and the schools in Milpitas for more than ten years. I have been an active participant in the PTA and with the Milpitas Unified School District. As a stay-at-home dad for several years I have developed a different perspective on the challenges of being the partner that stays at home.

I have also been active in City wide events and activities and know many of the civic leaders in Milpitas on a less than formal basis. These informal associations are important to me and have resulted in support for my candidacy for the school board. Relationships are important to me and I will continue to build strong working relationships that will benefit the Milpitas Unified School District.

By attending PTA meetings from Sixth District to the local PTA's and getting involved with other community organizations such as the Kiwanis Clubs child spree, the School District's crab feed, PAL Soccer, Rainbow Theater, I am an accessible resource for staff, parents, and students. As PTA Council president, I facilitated the implementation of networking the PTA units via E-mail, as well as a number of information technology tools to support PTA efforts.
