With over 25 years of dedicated service in the fire department, I bring extensive experience as a Fire Captain, demonstrating leadership, strategic planning, and crisis management skills. Additionally, I served as a director on our union board for a decade, advocating for the rights and welfare of fellow firefighters. Beyond firefighting, I am an owner-operator of a successful cattle ranch operation, showcasing my entrepreneurial spirit, organizational proficiency, and commitment to agriculture. My engagement extends to the non-profit sector, where I have served on the board of directors, contributing to community initiatives and organizational governance. Moreover, my involvement in the Livestock Council for the Antelope Valley Fair reflects my passion for promoting agriculture and community development.
