Candidate for
Member of the State Assembly; District 4

I am a retired Marine Corps Lieutenant Colonel and a member of a 4 generation Yolo County farming family who would be proud to be your new Assembly Representative. As a veteran I served our nation in combat operations in The Battle of Fallujah (2004) and Operation Desert Storm (1991). The Marines expect leadership and instill in you that courage, honesty and integrity is everything. Without those things a person can't lead effectively or be trusted to do what is right. Our government in Sacramento continues to be seemingly devoid of understanding what leadership is and what a representative government should be.

I pledge to fight corruption, waste, new unnecessary taxes and reinvigorate our state's economy. As a 4th generation farmer protecting our state's water resources and agricultural industry is paramount. We must also reduce excessive government regulations on business so our state can once again become a 'Golden State' of opportunity.

I 'm a graduate of Chico State majoring in soil and water science with graduate work in hydrology and viticulture. I have also served as a two term School Board Trustee, VFW Post Commander, Lions Club President and currently serve as a director on the Esparto Community Services District Board.
