Candidate for
Council Member; City of Fountain Valley

I was born in Philadelphia in 1964. I am the 12th child, in a family of 15 children. Seven boys, eight girls.

My father, a Pearl Harbor survivor, worked in the construction industry his entire life. My mother was a homemaker, and make a home she did! Our parents instilled in all of us, rock solid values and a strong work ethic. Sadly, they have both passed and are honorably interred together at Arlington National Cemetery, in our Nations Capitol.

When I graduated from High School, I was financially unable to attend college, so I sought a profession I really enjoyed. I found it in cars. I love cars!

I started with Allen Tire Company, beginning my career in 1987 as a tire technician. I advanced into Sales, then Store Manager, District Manager, then Sales & Operations Manager. I was promoted to Vice President of Operations in 2012, the position I currently hold. I oversee the day to day operations of 18 tire stores in Southern California. Hard work and dedication has put me here.

I married my wife, Bonnie (nee Hersh), 24 years ago. We were blessed with a son and a daughter, both products of Fountain Valley Schools. Bonnie is a teacher at Tamura Elementary School. Our son Michael, attends CSULB, and our daughter, Ellie, attends Irvine Valley College.

We love Fountain Valley and I want to give back to the community. If this appeals to you then I am asking you to vote for Patrick Tucker on November 4th. Thank you.
