WHY I’M RUNNING FOR RE-ELECTION

In over fifty years as a contractor, I've learned that you can't fake experience. And you can't build something lasting without understanding what came before.

I’ve owned and operated two businesses here in Hermosa and devoted 14 years to public service.

I hope to earn your vote for another four-year term as your Councilmember. It’s a crucial four years for Hermosa, and I am the only candidate standing in this election that has the combination of real-world business, construction and budget experience. I am the only candidate or current councilmember who has served on the Public Works Commission, the Planning Commission and on City Council. I understand land use and planning issues and how they relate to construction.

Experience like this really matters, and it’s exactly what Hermosa Beach needs right now, more than ever.

We face real infrastructure challenges and we have tough budget negotiations ahead. We need someone who understands not just the numbers, but the bones of this city. Someone who knows how to build things right.

More than that, we need someone who understands what makes Hermosa special—the people, the culture, the character that draws us here. I've been part of this community for years. I know what we're trying to protect, and what we need to improve.

That's why I'm running for re-election. Hermosa deserves a leader with real experience, deep roots, and the practical know-how to tackle what's ahead.

I’m standing again to use my experience for good of the town that has given me so much. In return I pledge to work hard for residents and local businesses, to use all that experience to make their lives better and to make taxpayers’ money go further.

One more promise. I will give back every cent that I would make from my council salary over the next four years to local city projects and good causes. Please reach out to me if you would like to know more.
