Candidate for
Council Member; City of Anaheim

I was born in Southern California at a time when Disneyland still used ticket books and the "E" ticket gave you the best rides in the park. I watched the "California Angels" play in the "Big A" and the Los Angeles Rams spring training workouts at Long Beach State.

After being honorably discharged from military service, I began my law enforcement career with the City of Santa Ana. I worked patrol, traffic, on horseback, by helicopter, street narcotics, gang suppression, gang homicide, cold case homicide, and the career criminal unit investigating Federal crimes.

With over three decades in law enforcement, I was honored to be voted Officer of the Year twice consecutively. Later, I was honored as Detective of the Year, and earned accolades from community organizations and elected officials. In 2003, I was chosen as one of the "25 Hottest People in Orange County" by OC Metro Magazine for my work in cold case homicides. I also served as a member of the Board of Directors and the Political Action Committee for the Santa Ana Police Officers Association, and was appointed by the Murrieta City Council as a Public Safety/Traffic Commissioner.

After 30 years of public service, I joined an international construction management firm as Director of Public Affairs. I am entrusted with many duties and assignments, and enjoy forging strong relationships and building coalitions to accomplish difficult tasks.

My wife Tonya and I enjoy living in the beautiful city of Anaheim. I have four children and a granddaughter who all live in southern California
