Selected for Outstanding Young Man of America

Boy Scouts of America

Qualifications I have lived in the Jurupa Community for 25 years. I have a proven commitment to this community and have served diligently for many years. My life has been devoted to community service from the time I became a Boy Scout, receiving the honor of Eagle Scout, up to my current job. I have extensive training in disaster preparedness and a record of community involvement for over 45 years. My desire to serve this community in the capacity as a Director of the Jurupa Community Service District is my way of giving back and continue in the work being established by the current Board of Directors. I plan to have a positive outlook toward the future water needs in our community and reinforce partnerships with the municipalities in the Region.
