Candidate for
Member, City Council; City of Antioch

I was born and raised in Antioch. As I have grown, so has Antioch. I went to school in Antioch and graduated in 1987. After two years of junior college, I attended the police academy at Los Medanos college.

I began working as a police officer in 1991. I worked as a patrol officer. My pro-active nature led to a posting as a community policing officer. When I started working on Sycamore Drive the area suffered over 70 police calls on a weekly basis and several of them were violent crimes (shootings, robbery, etc...). I worked with people in the area and we cleaned things up. By the time I left the area it was averaging less then ten calls a week and virtualy no violent crime occurred.
