My professional career consists of working in local government for twenty-seven years in both northern and southern California.

The last thirteen years before I retired, I was the Community Services Director for the City of Poway overseeing the parks, recreational and cultural activities of the City.

I have been a Trustee of the Pomerado Cemetery District since 2004 appointed by the San Diego County Board of Supervisors. Dearborn Cemetery is a public cemetery serving the communities of Poway, Rancho Bernardo, and portions of North County and inland San Diego.
