Biographical Highlights
  • Occupation: Attorney
  • For the past 4 years, I have been a leader in the cityhood movement. I have actively participated with the RSM Cityhood Committee, lending my legal
  • expertise in writing and reviewing legal documents. The first city council will be required to negotiate, read and sign numerous contracts for
  • essential city services within a very short time span. My experience will help get the city off on the right legal foot.
  • I am Vice President of the RSM Civic Council and authored the well received Civic Council Resolution opposing an airport at El Toro. Recently, the
  • Civic Council joined ETRPA and positioned the new city to continue the fight. I have experience running a business, chairing boards of directors and
  • working with county officials on behalf of the community, all of which prepares me to run the new city.
Top Priorities if Elected
  • Staunch opposition to an airport at MCAS El Toro
  • Increased Public Safety
  • Fiscal Responsibility
Position Papers
No Airport at MCAS El Toro!
I oppose any size commercial airport at El Toro. An airport will degrade our superior quality of life, pollute our environment and constitute a safety hazard. A flawed planning process has needlessly divided this County.
Programs for Teens
Providing our teens with a safe place to go and programs to use their time constructively benefits the entire community.
We are all ONE city!
Let's not fall into the "us" and "them" trap. That same type of thinking has needlessly divided our county. An experienced team comprised of Rancho and Plano Trabuco community residents can and will successfully meld all the communities into one cohesive city.
