I currently am a candidate for Director of the Marina Coast Water district. I am a local Trial Lawyer. I have been in practice for over 20 years. Before that I worked as a Senior Vice President for Wells Fargo and Bank of America as a financial planner . In addition to my Law Degree I have a degree in Economics and Government I served 6 years as the Vice Chairman of the Planning Commission in Visalia CA. I was a lead member of the smart planning task force and The general plan update committee for a town of 120,000 residents. I have had training from the Institute of Local Government. And was named Volunteer of The Year in Tulare County by Tulare County, several years back for my work with several non-profits. But Most important, I am also a father and grandfather. My daughter is a graduate of Santa Clara Law School and is awaiting Bar results. This is an election of choices . I pledge to bring my years of experience as a courtroom litigator to work for the Citizens of the Marina Coast Water District. I will be vigilant in being the voice of the rate payer when it comes to rates. I will not be a blind rubber stamp. I have the experience and knowledge to ask the right questions. My legal background will help protect us from the threat of Cal-Am and our future water supply. This is a battle that sadly I predict will be fought again. In addition my background in civic planning will help in allocating our scarce resource. We can only grow if the water supply is adequate . I humbly ask for your vote in this election . Feel free to reach out to me via direct message with any questions.
