In 2001 I was asked to serve on the Planning Commission for the city of Imperial, and in my 15 years of service as a planning commissioner I've been proud and fortunate to be a part of the tremendous growth and changes we've seen in our community.
I am a volunteer with Southwest Valley 4H, lucky to lead teams of great young people in our Knowledge Bowl Project.
As a membe of St. Anthony's Catholic Church, I've served as a choir member and Extra-ordinary Minister of the Eucharist, and am a member of the Knights of Columbus.

As a husband and father I'm blessed to represent my family, and proud of their support and love.
