Prior to coming to Pismo Beach, Bill was the principal of vocational training schools in San Bernardino, Anaheim, Simi Valley and Oxnard. His experience in this field has given him a unique insight into the educational needs of young people, especially those who are not college bound.

He also served as Associate Editor of Strictly Business Magazine from 1990 to 1993.

Once honored as Pismo Beach Citizen of the Year and the City of Grover Beach Business Person of the Year, Bill Rabenaldt is also the host of two highly regarded weekly public affairs programs. "High Profile" airs on Public Access Cable Television Channel 2 at 9pm on Tuesdays and 11am on Saturdays.

Bill Rabenaldt believes strongly that county government must work for the benefit of all members of the community, not narrow special interests. The future of San Luis Obispo County depends on a healthy economy that produces jobs for our people, good schools that educate our youth, sound transportation systems, reasonably-priced housing and a commitment to protecting our precious environment through education and community involvement.
