Experience:
Correctional Counselor I, CDC (33 years)
LTC USA-Reserve, Infantry (38 years)

I have resided in Sky Country for approximately twenty years. During this time I have raised four children. All of which have participated in Jurupa's Parks and Recreation programs. Their involvement included organized sports such as soccer and baseball. I am well aware of how important recreational activities can be to participants. This is particularly true for the young when character and self-esteem is formulating. My experience in Jurupa provides me with high regard for the quality of our parks and our recreation programs. The better our parks and programs the greater the likelihood that they will benefit our constituents. It is to this goal that I seek to serve. We also have to recognize that our community is diverse and has many needs. As such recreational program development continues to be required. Community input is sought and needed if the best possibilities are to be obtained. In short, Jurupa needs a Parks and Recreation Program that supports our way of life: dignity, liberty, justice, opportunity and fun for all.
