liaison between them and the public safety services during the time
of a crisis due to death or any homeland security issue. As a
trained Ambassador for the Emergency Preparedness team developed by
the Mayor’s office, my job is to also make sure that our community
has a plan in place in case of catastrophic disaster. In 2005, I
graduated from the Valley Leadership Program. My background is in
Marketing and Financial Planning. |

Email Memo |
| Bio: |
I was born and raised in Los Angeles,
moving further east in my young adult years. In 2002, I came to
Sylmar to work and, met my wife Ana. From there my life changed,
since Ana gave me the confidence to do basically any thing I want to
do. I involved myself with the Sylmar Chamber of Commerce while
becoming a real estate agent.
Since living in Sylmar I started noticing the deteriorated condition
of local streets. Instead of laying back and complaining, however, I
decided to become involved with the Sylmar Neighborhood Council.
Before I became a board director I was involved with the Land Use,
Public Services, the Beautification and the Outreach Committee. |
| Goals: |
My goal is to make Sylmar a better
community. I want our main corridors to stand out. I want people
passing through our town and say, “What a nice community!” |
