Born and raised in Imperial Valley and 23 years resident of the Coachella valley I have deep roots in these two communities that I call home.

With a career in mortgage banking that began in 1991 in Imperial Valley, where I worked closely with home builders and assisted hundreds of families in realizing their dreams. In 2000, I relocated to the Coachella Valley and for 32 years to this day, I continue to provide valuable support to families seeking mortgage finance guidance. In addition to my professional work, I am deeply committed to serving our business community. I have actively contributed as the President of the National Association of Hispanic Real Estate Professionals Coachella chapter and as a Board Member for the Builder Industry Association. Furthermore, I have dedicated my time as Secretary and Board Member for GCVCC (City of La Quinta) and currently serve as the Chair of the City of Coachella Chamber of Commerce." Above all, I am a proud father of five beautiful children. Their future and the future of all families in our district inspire me to make a positive impact and fight for their well-being.

"I am running for Congressional District 25 because I believe we need a true citizen representative who understands the needs of our community and can establish a strong connection. I have personal ties to numerous of our cities throughout District 25. Over the past 30+ years I have lived in 6 cities throughout Imperial Valley and the Coachella Valley. In addition,
  • National Security will be my 1st priority and supporting our local, State and Federal law enforcement so that our families are protected as well as them.
  • Education and Parental Rights, Children Success and stop sexualization and indoctrination of children.
  • Empowering Economy by helping the American families to secure better paying jobs. Tax them and our small businesses less.
I am passionate about improving the lives of our community. I am compassionate for the citizens throughout our district. I am a strategist and problem solver. I am a great communicator.
In politics, that I was able to bring the country back together from the division that currently exists.
Swim with the Sharks without being Eaten Alive. This book helped me become a better business strategist and marketer.
No, I believe that 2 years is not enough time for any representative to be able to make a difference in our community and country.
I believe that if the President of the United States can only serve 2 terms, House Representatives should have a term limit of no more than 8 years.
Imperial County Deputy Sheriff's Association, Imperial County District Attorney Investigators Association, California Rifle & Pistol Association Political Action Committee, Reform California, Calexico Police Officer Association
Agriculture, appropriations, ecuation and workforce, energy and commerce, financial services, homeland security, small business
I believe that government and elected officials, should be transparent with our constituents.
