my favorite role is being a dad. I was born and raised in Southern California, and I’ve called Agoura Hills home for 19 years. In that time, I’ve seen poverty grow, education decline, the impacts of drought, and the state I love decay in a way that makes me very concerned – not only for my children – but for yours as well. I didn’t have much growing up, and as the son of immigrants, I’ve always felt a huge responsibility to honor my parents’ sacrifices by working hard, setting an example, and taking care of people. While the life I’ve built with my wife is comfortable, I’m not comforted by the issues affecting Americans today, and I wouldn’t be upholding my parents’ commitment to achieving the “American Dream” if I didn’t try to fix what’s broken.

- I am a successful businessman, a NFL Sports agent, thats negotiated over $700 Million worth to contracts. Look at the landscape of our Federal Government, how can they relate to us? Have they ever ran a business? Have they ever worked a 9-5? Have they ever had to balance a check book? The answer is No. Government needs to be "By the people, For the people".
