From the Community, For the Community
I attended the Etiwanda School District from Kindergarten through eighth grade. I went to Carleton P. Lightfoot Elementary School, Summit Intermediate School, and graduated from Etiwanda High School.
I’m a Father of three young children ages nine, six, and four. Two attend elementary school and one attends preschool. My wife is a current San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Deputy who was previously a School Resource Officer in the city of Rancho Cucamonga. In this position, my wife and I spent several thousand dollars to help children in need buy clothes and attend driving school, which was life changing for some.
I’m a current San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Sergeant who started my career at 17 years old and worked my way up to where I am now. Two of my current assigned duties are to manage a training and development program at my station and plan large public gathering events where, at times 100,000 or more people attend. I work with numerous organizations, local, state, and federal law enforcement, and other agencies in this position. I have previously, and currently, volunteer my time with various Explorer posts, where people aged 14-20 are introduced to the law enforcement career. Both my wife and I started in the Explorer program and we have continued to give back over many years.
I’m also a current Deputy Leadership Institute instructor where I teach leadership concepts to department members.
Previous part time teacher for the Summit Leadership Academy Law Enforcement High School Program. In this position, I taught high school students who wanted to learn the law enforcement career.
Additionally, I’m formerly the Parks, Community, and Human Services Commissioner for the City of Fontana. In this position, I oversaw and attended numerous community events, including those where I worked to give back to those in need. I volunteered my time for the majority of these events and made personal donations to programs benefiting children.
Currently, I serve as the Planning Commissioner for the City of Fontana. In this position, I participate in governmental actions related to land use and development.
I Possess a Bachelor’s Degree in Political Science from the University of California, Riverside.
