Good day to you, and thank you for taking a moment to read this biography.
I am grateful and happy to have an incredibly supportive wife and two great sons. They provide the foundation for my decision-making ethics.
I was born and raised in Arizona, but have lived in California since 2000. I have played college and semi-professional soccer, and coached highly competitive youth teams.
I've been in the fire service full-time since 1996, and with the Oceanside Fire Department since 2001. I am a member of California Interagency Incident Management Team 11.
