24. What are your principal areas of interest in our City government, and what experience or special knowledge can you bring
to those areas?
As a latino, first generation American, and life -long resident of southwest Chula Vista, I understand the many challenges
families in the area encounter, having experienced first -hand the socio- economic challenges that young latinos from single -
parent families face. I am committed to a better quality of life for the residents of Chula Vista. My passion for engaging in the
community stemmed from combining my passion for music education, and love for my community, and the desire to help the
underserved youth. I am confident that I have a deep understanding of my community through my work with the Community
Opus Project, coaching youth sports, and currently as a teacher in the Chula Vista Elementary School District.
25. What would you hope to accomplish by your participation?
I would like to work towards ensuring that our city parks are of high standard regardless of the socio- economics of the area
they are in. This includes ensuring that revitalization efforts are pursued. Depending on budget, it would be interesting to
perhaps host a type of tournament, most likely soccer, that is either a city competition, county, or even a bi- national event.

24. What are your principal areas of interest in our City government, and what experience or special knowledge can you bring
to those areas?
I am interested in Veteran's issues and in parks, recreation and open space issues. I bring a diverse background with 35 years
of government leadership in both the executive and legislative branches as a civilian and as a senior military officer. I bring
experience as a senior logistics and program management executive with significant leadership experience and expertise in
challenging, diverse, fast paced, results oriented organizations. Extensive experience in managing budgets and contracts.
Proven performance in developing innovative and effective solutions for demanding time sensitive customers and situations.
Strong leadership, technology, communication, and organizational skills. Retired Navy Captain and Iraq war Veteran. I
volunteer with the Chula Vista Civilian Emergency Response Team (CERT), the U.S. Forest Service, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service and the California State Parks.
25. What would you hope to accomplish by your participation?
For the Parks and Recreation Commission, I would hope to improve city services, quality of life, and make Chula Vista a better
place to live. I have a strong interest in the parks, recreation, and the environment. We almost lost the Living Coast Discovery
Center and I would be interested in ensuring that it remains a destination location in Chula Vista forever. We could work with
the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to create more recreation opportunities in the Sweetwater Marsh and some of the other
open space areas. I would like the opportunity to improve the cleanliness of our canyons and open spaces. I live adjacent to an
open space canyon so I am familiar with many of the issues affecting open space. I use our parks and open space on a daily
basis.
For the Veterans Advisory Commission, I would like to ensure our military and Veterans are honored, respected and
supported. I am a 31 -year Navy Veteran and Iraq combat Veteran, so I feel that I understand Veteran's issues and can help
2015 -11 -17 Special Meeting Agenda Packet Page 58
improve support for both the military and veterans in our community. As a six -tune reserve unit Commanding Officer, I had to
become familiar with issues for military personnel across all pay grades and help find support for their issues. I also had to
navigate the VA benefits system upon return from Iraq so I am very familiar with the current VA situation. After all the military
does for our country, the city should be a strong supporter of Veteran's and Memorial Day observances.
