I’m proud of all that Walnut Creek has to offer its citizens, and what it’s given my family, my children and my parents: A safe, clean community; beautiful, plentiful parks and open space; wonderful dining, shopping and recreational opportunities, and an unmatched quality of life for all ages. It’s no wonder Walnut Creek has become a model community known and admired around the world. I’m looking forward to drawing from all my experiences here – as a father, a business person, a city commissioner, a coach, a community volunteer, and a 20-year resident in a multi-generation Walnut Creek family – to serve, preserve and enhance our special city as a member of the Walnut Creek City Council. Our citizens have many different interests and I am here to actively listen and work passionately to help develop creative solutions that keep our city an enviable place to live, work, do business, raise families and enjoy. I’m honored that many of our former mayors, city council members and community leaders supported my campaign, and I look forward meeting as many of you as I can over the coming months.
