I am a 22 year resident with my wife of Laguna Hills. Our three children attended local schools. I am running for the Laguna Hills City Council, which will have three open seats, in the general election on November 6, 2018. This is my first run for elective office.
I currently serve on the City's Parks and Recreation Commission, have a strong business background including much experience with real estate-related issues, and have the endorsement of current Laguna Hills City Council members Melody Carruth and Dr. Dore Gilbert. I believe I would be a very worthy addition to the Laguna Hills City Council, as I believe the City would benefit from leadership seeking to forge greater ties with the business community. I am "numbers oriented" meaning that I have a ready affinity for, and commitment to understanding, budget and financial issues, attributes which I believe will be helpful in the challenging financial situation the City faces.
My wife Karen heads the 3/5 Marine Support Committee (“Team Darkhorse”), a support group sponsored by the City of Laguna Hills for the 3/5 battalion, 1st Marine Division, based at Camp Pendleton.We have 3 married adult children: Jack (ex-USMC 1st Lt), employed with a private equity firm based in Manhattan Beach CA; Dean, employed with American Express in New York City; and Alice, head of PR for a start-up on-line insurance firm in Chicago, Illinois.
