I am a business owner having worked in the private sector for over 30 years who understands the day to day challenges in work and in life that most Americans experience with knowing first-hand the many opportunities that exist within our Great State of California. I am an expert in energy efficiency, high-performance buildings and sustainability, serving as a Board of Trustee for the International Facility Management Association, I’ve worked on some of the tallest, and most iconic buildings in the United States and in the World with providing innovative solutions for hundreds of buildings. After many years in the private sector, I’m committed and believe it is my obligation to share my broad experience as I work with new and incumbent workers and students guiding them within the community colleges in providing workforce development programs.
Being the Vice Chair of the Napa County Republican Committee for three years and having volunteered for over 15-years with a number of industry groups, I’ve had one very important goal in mind, giving back to individuals who want to expand upon and learn new skills in the workforce. I regularly volunteer at the Yountville Veterans Home assisting in resident events, visits or just meeting with these wonderful individuals. Previously volunteered as Cub Scout leader and assisted with the Boy Scouts for six years and also as the House Captain with the Rebuilding Together – Christmas in April Program refurbishing low income homes for families.
