Dear Neighbor,

My wife, Linda and I have lived in Vista for over two decades. I am a proud graduate of the University of Southern California, with a Bachelor of Science degree in Finance and Real Estate. This community is where we raised our daughter and as long time Vista residents, my family and I care deeply about the safe and efficient delivery of water.

Effective water policy and rate controls are vital to maintain a strong local business climate. Decisions made by the Vista Irrigation District board have a direct impact on business, land and agricultural development. As your representative I will work to create opportunities for business and job growth while providing superior, affordable water service.

I will streamline business processes, ensure fair and competitive contracting policies, and I will always fight to keep water rates low.

I pledge to be available to you in person, by telephone and email; and I promise always to hear and address your concerns.
