When I was a young migrant farmworker, I knew early on that I wanted a better life. Through hard work and determination, I learned from life's twist and turns. As a result I sought a career in helping others.
Eventually I landed a long-time career with a national media company and years of involvement in community service and public affairs. My service and professional life prepared me to speak for others.
As a Trustee i know the value of a good education and it begins early. I am committed to find a that of success in academics and vocation training.
I govern empathically. I understand the complexities and diversity of issues our families face. We all need to be on the same page to excel.
I am a son of the San Joaquin Valley, keeping a pulse of workers particularly those who work the agricultural fields, packing houses, warehouses and dairies is a personal priority I hold close to heart. I recognize the need for good paying jobs, quality health care, safe drinking water, affordable housing and support for academic, vocational and special education is vital in a world that is ever changing.
