I believe that giving back is among the most important & valuable things a community member can do. I currently serve as Chair of the Finance and Audit Committee for the City of Beaumont. I also serve on the Board of Directors as Treasurer for Solera at Oak Valley Greens HOA.

I spent my business career in the real estate finance arena for over 35 years retiring in 2004. One of the highlights of my career was assisting in the development of the Mortgage Banking Certificate program at Cal State Hayward. I spent 2 years teaching under the program.

I had the pleasure of growing up in Japan as a member of a proud Air Force family. I am happily married with 3 fur children, 3 children, 11 grandchildren and 4 great grands that are the center of my world.
