Bio

By Rudy Gaona

Hello, My Name is Rudy Gaona, I am 38 years old and I live in Anaheim, California. Being the only child in my family, I have been blessed in having the best mother in the whole world, who has work very hard (as a single mother) to try to give me the best up bringing she could possibly give. From having the best mom I am also blessed to have the most beautiful wife and son whom I Love both very much.

In regards to employment, I currently work full time for LAC-USC-MEDICAL- CENTER. And have served for about 11 years for the department of Materials Management. In addition to my full time job, I also serve my country, I am a member of the California, Army National Guard. I feel honor to say that I have served the National Guard for 19years. I first volunteered to serve the Army National Guard when I turned eighteen. I am what you call, your basic Infantry soldier. My tour include Los Angeles Riots, Northridge earthquake, Central floods, Operation enduring freedom and Operation Iraqi freedom.

As for my education, I attended East Los Angeles Community College where I earned an Associates of Arts in Administration of Justice. This was not an easy task since I worked full time in order to continue to support my mother at the time. Fortunately, I was given the opportunity to work the graveyard shift, which allowed me to finish my Associates degree and transfer to a four-year University. In the spring of 2004, I started to attend California State University, Fullerton to pursue a Bachelor of Arts in Criminal Justice; however, due to recent events and being a member of the Army National Guard, I was given orders of deployment to serve in the Middle East more than a few times for a term of a year and a half. Due to these circumstances, I decided to attend the University of Devry online system. Thanks to this system, I will be allowed to finish my Bachelor of science in Technical Management, and continue my education in the masters program.

As for my hobbies I love to workout to try to keep in shape and when I have spare time I also enjoy bike riding as well as cooking.

I would like to finish by saying. With your help and assistance I know that I will accomplish our goals for the City of Anaheim. Thank you.
