I have lived in Hemet since 1981, moving from the Coachella Valley. My father was a mechanic for the local farming community and my mother was a stay-at-home mom of eight. My wife teaches at Hemet Unified School District, we have three children and four grandchildren. I graduated from Hemet High School in 1986 and began a career in real estate in 1991. In 2021, I obtained my mortgage license to better serve my clients. My volunteer service has included President of the Hemet San Jacinto Association of Realtors, Director for Habitat for Humanity and family selection Chairmen, City of Hemet Measure U (H) Citizen Oversight Committee and ROCS (Restoring Our Community Strategy) member, President of the Ramona Bowl Amphitheatre during the Ramona Pageant's 100th anniversary, and Vice-President of Grandfather's for Golf. I am a member of the B.P.O.E. Elks Lodge, Hemet Eagles FOE, Masonic Lodge, Hemet Sunset Rotary, and member of the Hemet San Jacinto Chamber of Commerce. I believe we must focus on quality of life, better approach to the homeless population, taking care of our streets, parks, recreation areas, and promoting affordable housing. We must prioritize economic development by aggressively attracting jobs, promoting a business-friendly environment, staying tough on crime, supporting our first responders, properly plan for Warehouses and Industries.
- In our small city, public safety is personal. We all want to feel secure in our homes, schools, and businesses. My goal is to strengthen community ties with law enforcement through open dialogue, fair practices, and trust. By investing in crime prevention, youth programs, and emergency services, we can create a safer environment for everyone. Together, we will build a city where every resident feels protected and valued, ensuring that public safety works for us all.
- Our streets and infrastructure are the backbone of our city, but too many of them are in disrepair. It's time for a better plan that invests in fixing our roads, improving public spaces, and modernizing utilities. I'm committed to ensuring our city is safe, accessible, and prepared for future growth. By focusing on long-term solutions and prioritizing essential repairs, we can rebuild our infrastructure to better serve every resident. Together, let's pave the way for a stronger, more resilient city.
- Our city is growing, but without proper planning, warehouses and industries are expanding without considering long-term impacts on traffic, neighborhoods, and the environment. I'm committed to a balanced approach that supports economic development while protecting our community's quality of life. We need thoughtful zoning, smarter infrastructure, and strategic planning to ensure that growth benefits everyone. Let's work together to create a city that thrives economically without sacrificing the well-being of our residents or our future.
Fixing our streets is about more than just filling potholes---it's about improving our quality of life. Safe, well-maintained roads make it easier to get around, attract businesses, and keep our neighborhoods connected. I'm committed to investing in street repairs and infrastructure upgrades that will create smoother commutes, safer sidewalks, and stronger communities. Together, we can improve our streets and build a city where everyone can enjoy a better quality of life.
