Self employed
Thousand Oaks

Throughout my career, I have taken on a variety of responsibilities that have allowed me to develop a diverse skill set. Initially, I worked as an investment advisor for several years, where I had the privilege of advising both individuals and businesses on a wide range of investment strategies tailored to their unique financial goals.

Following my experience in investment advising, I ventured into entrepreneurship by establishing several companies. Among these was a mortgage banking firm that successfully operated across 15 different states, demonstrating my ability to lead and scale businesses in a competitive market.

I enjoy giving back to the community. I have both experince and success in this area.
• Please list all relevant work and volunteer experience, including on City boards or committees, the dates of your involvement, and note any leadership roles that you held.* Please detail your Finance/Investment background that qualifies you for membership on this Board:* A resume is

required:

Please agree with the following statements:
• All information in this application is complete, truthful, and accurate to the best of my knowledge. • If appointed, I understand it is my responsibility to notify the City of changes that would affect my membership on the board.

First and foremost, I adhered to and applied the guiding principles outlined in the City's investment policy, which prioritize the following in order of importance:

Safety
Liquidity
Rate of return
These principles have been the foundation of my approach during my tenure on the investment committee, where I have served for several years. Notably, this included the challenging financial period from 2007 to 2010, where these guiding principles were particularly crucial.

I have volunteered for a variety of causes, including medical fundraisers, autism support initiatives, and local children's athletics. My involvement has ranged from being an active member to taking on leadership roles in specific endeavors.

For instance, I was asked to lead the organization of the "Pee Wee" football league championship games, which had previously been a financial loss for the hosting city. While I took on the role of team leader, it was truly a collaborative effort by a dedicated group of volunteers. Together, we not only turned the event into a profitable venture but also received tremendous accolades from the participating teams throughout the region.
