I am running for a seat on the Triunfo Sanitation Board of Directors because I have the leadership skills and knowledge to serve effectively.

I am an engineering manager for the Metropolitan Water District (the largest water district in Southern California).

I am a member of the Municipal Advisory Council of Oak Park.  I serve as vice chair.

I am a member of the Measure R and Measure C oversight committee.

 I have been married to my wife Kathy for over 20 years. We have three teenagers.

I attend Westminster Presbyterian Church.

 As an engineering manager at the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California  I have learned to evaluate budgets, oversee projects, scrutinize operating costs, and eliminate waste so that Triunfo is run effectively.

 My position at the Metropolitan has given me a good understanding of the regional water issues facing Triunfo and California. To become familiar with the local issues, I attended many Triunfo meetings over the last year.

I was elected to the Oak Park Municipal Advisory Council and serve as vice chair. In this position, I listen to the community and respond to their concerns. I have worked on traffic issues and am liaison to the school district. 

 My top priority will be to keep water/sanitation rates low. I will seek better financial arrangements with our water and sanitation suppliers. I will listen to the community, seek advice of experts, and listen to staff so that every decision helps the Triunfo Water District provide services effectively.  

I cherish this community and respectively ask for another opportunity to serve it.
