This information is provided by the candidate

Santa Ana Unified serves a substantial minority community with over 90 percent being Latino. Although I was born in Los Angeles, I attended and completed during my youthful years, schools in Mexico. In my adult life I attended Santa Ana College. I have various state licenses and certifications.

Given my personal experiences in both countries, I bring a very strong understanding of the needs of the Santa Ana community.

As a successful businessman, I have continued to be involved in the community. Working in the community is a personal mission to empower the community through citizenship and community involvement.

I am a member of Santa Ana Kiwanis. I have donated thousands of dollars to support youth programs, charities and community organizations.

I have been elected/appointed to local, national and international positions of leadership i.e.; Fiesta Patrias Committee of Orange County, Institute of Mexicans Abroad of Orange County, and the League of United Latin American Citizens Commission on Immigrant Affairs.

I want to give back to the Santa Ana Community. I want to make a difference and provide expanded educational opportunities for our youth.
