Present — Community Service
Today, I bring a lifetime of service and a deep commitment to the Area 1 community to the Tulare County Board of Education.
Family & Values
My life is defined by the people I have served and the family I have built. As a husband, father, and grandfather, I believe that leadership is grounded in lived experience and the values of service, accountability, and opportunity.
