Proven Leadership

I am very pleased to announce my intention to run for the office of City Council member for Union City in the November 2004 election.

As a Trustee for New Haven Unified School District for the past eight years, I have proven my leadership abilities by working with others to maintain standards of academic excellence and fiscal responsibility during a period of extreme economic challenge. I chaired a $35 million bond campaign, helped establish a program to give students real-life work experience, and was active in the movement to bring technology to Union City schools.

As your Council Member, I will be a team player who maintains strong partnerships with businesses, civic entities, and regional agencies to achieve maximum benefits for Union City residents. I am committed to community safety, and to the health and welfare of our residents. Sound economic development programs will bring jobs and generate tax revenue. I have strong personal and professional ethics, and encourage residents to come forward with ideas to help shape Union City into your ideal city.

I have worked in the aerospace industry as a Principal Engineer for Computer Sciences Corporation for the past 25 years, since completing a Bachelor of Arts degree in Behavioral Science at National Lois University in McLean, Virginia. I am a veteran of the U.S. Navy, and I enjoy working with many community organizations.
