Candidate for
Member, Board of Supervisors; County of San Francisco; Supervisorial District 10

Like many of you in District 10, I am a working class, family man. And as a 23 year resident, with two young children attending public schools here, I have a vested interest in seeing that District 10 becomes a sound and prosperous community.

I am neither a career politician nor a crusading ideologue, but rather, a solution oriented troubleshooter, with extensive managerial business experience and a proud record of grassroots community leadership.
