Please review the following handbook:
How many years of being a Visalia
Resident?: 20
Are you a Visalia Registered Voter?: No
List any training and/or experience: Senior operator with 20+ years of experience supporting executive leadership in high-stakes,
regulated, and under-structured environments. I’ve
served as a hands-on capital markets lead and as a de
facto Chief of Staff4partnering with CEOs, EVPs, and
boards to frame decisions, manage risk, and translate
strategy into execution under time pressure. My
strength is synthesizing complex financial,
institutional, and geopolitical dynamics into clear,
actionable options that accelerate decision-making and
align cross-functional teams. I’m most effective where
judgment, operating cadence, and clarity matter more
than title4particularly during periods of volatility,
ambiguity, or transition.
Education-school, major, graduation date &
degree: Point Loma Nazarene University (2000-2004), BA in International Business University of Cambridge (2002-
2003), Institute for Economic and Political Studies
Additional skills and/or interests: I bring a systems-based approach to decision-making, grounded in evaluating tradeoffs, long-term
sustainability, and structural risk. My professional
background involves assessing complex,
interdependent systems under constraint and making
disciplined decisions with an emphasis on durability
rather than short-term reaction. I am particularly
interested in how land use decisions interact with
infrastructure capacity, fiscal sustainability, and long- term service obligations. Growth, density, and
development each carry both opportunity and
downstream cost. I believe thoughtful planning
requires understanding not only immediate benefits,
but also long-term impacts on utilities, transportation, public safety, and municipal finances. I value clear
governance processes and adherence to adopted plans.
Planning decisions are most effective when they are
transparent, consistent, and grounded in established
frameworks rather than shifting pressures. A
predictable and disciplined process supports both
community trust and responsible development. I am
also interested in how thoughtful land use shapes the
long-term resilience and character of the city.
Decisions made today will influence Visalia’s
infrastructure demands, fiscal stability, and quality of life for decades. My goal would be to approach each
matter with careful analysis, respect for process, and a focus on sustainable outcomes.

Board/Committee/Commission: Planning Commission
Applicable qualifications and experience: I have more than twenty years of experience in capital markets, financial risk management, and institutional
decision-making. My professional work has required
evaluating complex proposals, identifying unintended
consequences, and balancing long-term sustainability
against short-term pressures. I routinely assess
structural risk, liquidity constraints, and downstream
impacts before commitments are made. That discipline
translates directly to land use and planning decisions, where infrastructure capacity, fiscal implications, and long-term obligations must be considered carefully. My
background also includes executive-level reporting and
governance interaction, where clarity, transparency,
and adherence to established frameworks are
essential. I am comfortable reviewing detailed
materials, asking focused questions, and making
decisions based on policy and adopted standards
rather than reaction. In addition, I have a strong
interest in infrastructure systems and how long-term
planning choices affect community stability and
resilience. I approach decisions methodically, with
attention to both immediate impacts and multi-decade
outcomes.
