I have been a firefighter with the Mokelumne Hill Fire Protection District since 2016, serving as a captain since 2019. My primary job is as a Software Engineer with DropBox.

I grew up in Calaveras County, attending Valley Springs Elementary and Calaveras High School (class of '81). I then attended CSU, Chico, earning a Computer Science degree. After living in the Bay Area for 2 years, then Loomis for 4, my wife and I moved back to Moke Hill to raise our family.

I have served the community in various ways for many years: as a member of the Youth Soccer and Youth Basketball leagues, coaching youth soccer and basketball teams, as well as coaching the Calaveras High School freshman boy's basketball team for 6 years, and the JV girl's team for 3. I hope to continue serving for many more years.
