This election is about a person's experience with creating jobs, providing higher pay for employees, actively promoting education, and supporting teachers. I have done all of these things here in the beautiful High Desert and will work determinedly at the State level to improve each of these areas within our community.

My company has put employees and sub-contractors to work in multiple states and seven countries. I believe in a person making a decent living that will help pay their bills and take care of their families. As a business owner, I believe that California has put excessive and unnecessary taxes and regulations on both employers and employees.

I don't just say I support education; I am actively doing it. As a high school dropout, I went on to acquire my Bachelors, Master of Law, and Doctorate degrees. I now run a company providing federal education training to thousands of adult learners around the world.

Ensuring a decent living for all of the residents of the 36th Assembly District.
My dad. He felt his mission in life was ensuring the welfare of others.
Don't forget that you work for the public. They do NOT work for you.
1961, sanitation strike of Huntsville, Alabama, watching my father form the local teamsters.
At the age of six, providing ice water to field hands.
