Over 30 years ago, I immigrated to the US from Mexico. I got married and started a family in my early 20s. My wife and I moved to San Bernardino, where we raised our children. They attended our local public schools and graduated from our local university.  Today, I am a single parent and proud to have raised children who have become productive citizens. We've lived in the same house all these years and it's where my story continues to unfold. 

During this time, I have worked as a carpenter, framer, plumber, and roofer, gaining valuable experience along the way and fosting friendships with amzaing people. Today, I work as a project manager with the Housing Authority. 

My community leadership experience includes serving as Building Commissioner and Executive Board Member-Hispanic Chamber of Commerce. I’ve also volunteered with many community organizations and groups such as Rotary, We Are The Chagetime and SB Food Fest. 

I am proud of my service to my community and I believe my city needs me now. I know times are tough these days. However, I am confident I can work with anyone and I truly believe our best days are ahead.
