I was born and raised in Modesto, California. I am fortunate to continue residing in Modesto with my remarkable wife, Jennifer, and our three children. Jennifer and I have been blessed to raise our children, pursue our careers, and contribute to the community we hold dear.
Professionally, I have over 30 years of experience in business ownership, management, and operations. I have expertise in construction, manufacturing, operations management, leadership development, and strategic planning. As a business and community leader in Modesto and Stanislaus County, I am passionate about community improvement. I actively engage in my areas of leadership at work and in the community. My goal is to enhance the quality of life and work in our community by fostering meaningful connections and driving positive change.
