Candidate for
Member, City Council; City of Laguna Niguel

I am married and have two children and five grandchildren. My family has lived in Laguna Niguel since 1974.

I received a Bachelor of Science in Engineering from California State University at Long Beach in 1966 and a Masters of Business Administration from the University of California Los Angeles in 1970. My career since 1971 has been as a municipal finance consultant and investment banker.

In 1985 I established an investment banking and municipal finance consulting firm based in Laguna Niguel. Several years ago I sold my interest in my firm and have since committed much of my time to community and charitable activities.

I serve on the following Boards and Committees:

Board of Directors of the Urban Water Institute;

Board of Managers of South Coast YMCA;

Board of Governors of the YMCA of Orange County;

Citizens Advisory Council of the Moulton Niguel Water District;

Board of Directors of the Rotary Club of Laguna Niguel;

Board of Directors of the Niguel Botanical Preserve; and

Chairman of the Board of Directors of International Orphan Care.

During the Measure F and Measure W capaigns to stop the El Toro airport, I was the leader of both campaigns in Laguna Niguel and served on:

Executive Committee of Clear the Air/No Jets;

Advisory Board of Taxpayers for Responsible Planning; and

Finance Committee of Citizens for Safe and Healthy Communities.

In recognition of my community involvement and efforts to stop the airport, I am honored to have been selected as Laguna Niguel Citizen of the Year for 1999.

I was elected to the City Council of the City of Laguna Niguel in November 2000.
