Who do you look up to? Whose example would you like to follow, and why?

I've always looked up to my father. He was a great man, who valued family , and instilled in us Christians fundamentals.
He used to say that "The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy. The measure of a man is what he does with power. The true measure of a man is how he treats someone who can do him absolutely no good."

What is the first historical event that happened in your lifetime that you remember? How old were you at the time?

My mother sending me to school at age 4.

What was your very first job? How long did you have it?

I worked as a cashier at Pizza hut when I was in high school. From my junior year at Macarthur high school in Irving to my Sophomore year of College at North Lake College.

A mayor is a leader in his or her city. What does that mean to you?

Serving the resident of my city. It means being trusted to work for every citizens in the city. Being trusted to create opportunities for the next generation, and lead my city to compete with other cities for better jobs, better educations, better infrastructure.

Mayors have many responsibilities, which vary from city to city. Which of those do you personally consider the most important in your city?

-Serving my fellow citizen is the greatest responsibility a man can. Jesus Christ instruct us to love one another. Lifting up your brother when he is down, giving a hand when someone needs. Be the reason why someone smile.

If the mayor in your city is a member of the city council and there's a city manager appointed to handle the day-to-day administration of the city government, what do you believe should be the mayor's top priority in office?

To serve the interests of every resident in the city.

What do you love most about your city?

its people

What do you perceive to be your city's greatest challenges over the next decade?

Infrastructure
