Coronado is a special place.

Communities like ours, with unique charm and character, don’t just happen on their own, they are shaped by dedicated leaders who devote their passion, energy and expertise to keeping them special.

I am one of those leaders. I spent the first 30 years of my career serving and defending our nation. I have served our community on our City Council, our Planning Commission and in numerous non-profit organizations.

I remain committed to continue to put my experience and passion for local leadership to work for you. My unique qualifications, experience and commitment will serve Coronado and keep it special.
