Attending nearby Orange Lutheran and growing up in Anaheim Hills, I have always dreamed of moving to Villa Park and raising a family. The safe, small town feel was a throwback to a simpler time, where kids could roam the streets with their friends and your neighbors quickly became family. After marrying my best friend, Dina, in 2018 and giving birth to my two girls, the dream of raising my family in Villa Park soon became a reality. 

Like many others in Villa Park, I made major sacrifices to move my family here. And when I realized that my next-door neighbor was a sober living home, I felt as if my Villa Park Dream was crushed. 

I decided that no way could I sit complacent and started speaking out at city council meetings. With others on my street, I organized efforts to inform nearby residents on the sober living home issue and how we could approach it. My dedication to this issue earned me an appointment to the city's newly formed Group Home Living Task Force Committee where I currently serve as Vice Chairman.

As someone who operates a 24 million dollar budget in the nursing home business, I'm data driven. Present the facts, show me the numbers, and trust that I'll formulate the right decisions! 

I'm an independent-minded candidate, and I'd be honored to have your support.
