I feel lucky to have lived in San Luis Obispo County since 1991 and in Paso Robles going on 15 years, watching our city grow into the lovely and thriving town it is today. On regular walks through town I see first hand the care our community takes in creating and maintaining its assets and would like to contribute more to that endeavor. Enjoyment of arts and recreation are a vital component for physical and mental well being - participating in the Parks & Recreation Advisory committee speaks to that.

I have lived in Paso since 2008 and enjoyed watching it grow.
Building my business in downtown Paso has been an amazing journey and we now are recognized Internationally for the brands we create at Motif Brands.
I now have two young girls who are active in the local community and we go to the parks and activities frequently. My involvement as a local business owner, father, and Paso advocate makes me a great choice to serve on this advisory.
I want to help Paso grow in a healthy and natural way that benefits all locals and keeps Paso the treasure that it is. I believe this starts with our arts, activities, and parks that create a lovable environment that is enchanting and memorable.
