This is a campaign site solely designed to support my strong commitment to serve as the Area 7 Trustee on the South Orange County Community College Board that represents Laguna Niguel, Mission Viejo, Rancho Santa Margarita and unincorporated areas of Ladera Ranch. These communities are fortunate to have the outstanding education institutions of Saddleback College, Irvine Valley College and the Advanced Technology Educational Park in Tustin. I am dedicated to serving our community as exemplified by my volunteer efforts. I take pride in my leadership experience as an educator and veteran military officer who is a life-long learner and college professor and administrator. I appreciate the value of higher education and have instilled that in my own children as one has a Master's Degree and the other has a Bachelor's degree and going further with Certifications. I am a strong, fiscal conservative that will ensure appropriate use of every taxpayer dollar in education and administration of these three stellar institutions. I am dedicated to excellence in services, premier academic offerings and the total commitment to the great purpose of developing an outstanding education environment for our Area 7 Community Colleges that will make a positive impact on the lives of all citizens of our communities.
