I have been a Partner in a small real estate appraising business for over the last 30 years.   I am a graduate of Cal State East Bay with a degree in Business Adminastration with emphases in Accounting and Management of Information Systems.   I started my career with a large international accounting firm called Ernst and Young where I earned my CPA certificate.   I have been a community leader for over 28 years.  I have served on the Contra Costa Fair Board, Alamo Improvement Association and the Alamo Police Services Adivosory Committee.   

I believe that the politcal spectrum is a circle with most peolpe in the middle and at the top of the circle and the two opposing extremes come together at the bottom.  If elected I will try to represent the highest number of people placing myself near the very top of the circle.    I believe it is virtually impossisble to alway be in the exact middle therefore when the exact middle is hard to find I see myself as being on the conservative side of the equation.
