Born & Raised

Our city is a special place to me. I went to Mariners Elementary, Ensign Intermediate, Newport Harbor High School and later graduated from Chapman University with a BA in Criminal Justice. My wife and I met on the Balboa Peninsula and both of our children were born at Hoag. My parents met at the Newport Beach Police Department, where my father served as a Police Officer in the 1970's and 1980's, and my mother after 33 years of service, retired as a Civilian Traffic Supervisor in 2010.

Giving back to the community that has provided me with so many opportunities inspired my call to service.
