Candidate for
Member, City Council; City of Hercules

I was born, raised and educated in the state of Michigan. Most of family still lives throughout Southeastern Michigan with my parents owning a restaurant in the heart of downtown Detroit.

At the age of twenty one, I packed my bags and relocated to Nevada as a Quality Assurance Supervisor for a manufacturing plant located twenty miles south of Las Vegas. I spent the next three years living in Las Vegas but had the opportunity to relocate to Southern California with the company I was working for at the time.

From 1994 to early 2000 I lived in Southern California working as a Packaging Engineer/Operations Manager for another manufacturing company.

In March of 2000, a Richmond based IT company offered me a position here in the Bay Area that I couldn't refuse.

I have volunteered my time with environmental activities such as National Parks Day in Yosemite and participating in various cleanup days for Bay Area wetlands, shorelines, parks and rivers.

In April of 2004 I was appointed to the Hercules Community Services Commission to a one year term and have also been serving a two year elected term on the Promenade Homeowners Association.

My wife Gina and I have been calling Hercules home since May 2003 we will be celebrating our 3 year wedding anniversary in October. Gina and I are the proud parents of our son Dylan, which we will be celebrating his first birthday in October as well.

Some of my hobbies include competitive sail yacht racing (Bay and Ocean), hiking, fishing, bike riding, cooking and spending time with friends and family.
