Candidate for
Council member; City of San Diego

I was born on February 8, 1955, in Chicago, Illinois. I grew up in a small town in southern Illinois, and graduated from the University of Illinois with a BA in History. On August 16, 1977, I moved to San Diego to attend law school

Like many others, I fell in love with San Diego and decided to stay here. My mother, sister and brother-in-law also live here. During law school, I started to volunteer as a DJ at student radio stations at SDSU and UCSD. I have been a volunteer broadcaster at City College's "Jazz 88" (88.3 FM) since 1985.

Professionally, I have worked in law offices in Linda Vista and in Kearny Mesa. In addition to serving as an Administrative Hearing Officer for the City of San Diego, I am on the Mediation Panel for the Superior Court. I also serve as a Judge pro tem. for the Court. I have represented subcontractors in construction defect litigation, other small businesses and senior citizens.

I am now applying for a new job, as your City Councilman (if you're a Sixth District resident). Please call me at home, (858) 270-3194, if you have any questions.
