I was born and raised in Hayward, attended Ricks College, Brigham Young University and Cal State Hayward, studying economics and political science. I have worked at USS-POSCO for 24 years and am currently employed as an IT manager. With my wife Mary and three daughters, Teresa, Danielle and Megan, I moved to Oakley 20 years ago. I began my civic involvement by creating the organization called the Oakley Orphans and started advocating for school children living west of Empire. I was appointed to the Planning Commission twelve years ago first elected to the City Council eight years ago and re-elected four years ago. I have served two terms as mayor. I was selected Oakley Citizen of the Year for 2007.
