Turn Intention Into Action: My Availability

Anyone who has known me knows that I have often been overextended. I have consistently served on at least five boards at a time while maintaining two full-time jobs and operating my 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. Above all else, however, I prioritized attending every event for my children, regardless of the time of day.

Today, my commitments have lightened considerably. I maintain a mostly remote legal practice, teach at the university, serve on one board, and devote the rest of my time to my family, improving my property, and my health.

As a councilmember, I commit to my constituents that I will maintain:

• 100% attendance at City Council meetings and special sessions, except when the physical health of myself or an immediate family member is at issue;

• 80% or greater attendance at all meetings of committees to which I am appointed as a councilmember; and

• 75% or greater attendance at community events, including ribbon cuttings, Little League opening day ceremonies, and similar events.

Showing Up Matters

Public service begins with showing up.

Residents deserve elected officials who are prepared, engaged, and present—not only at City Hall, but throughout the community they were elected to serve. I believe attendance is one of the simplest and most measurable forms of accountability.

Throughout my career, I have balanced significant professional and community responsibilities while remaining committed to my family. I have served on numerous nonprofit boards, maintained a demanding legal practice, taught at the university, and operated a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. Through it all, my highest priority has always been my wife and children, and I made every effort to attend the moments that mattered most in their lives.

Today, my professional commitments provide me with greater flexibility than at any other point in my career. I maintain a primarily remote legal practice, continue teaching at the University of La Verne, serve on one board, and devote the remainder of my time to my family, my health, and serving our community.

If elected, I believe you should be able to expect measurable accountability from me. Accordingly, I commit to the following:

• 100% attendance at City Council meetings and special sessions, except when prevented by the serious health needs of myself or an immediate family member;

• At least 80% attendance at every committee to which I am appointed by the Council; and

• At least 75% attendance at community events, including ribbon cuttings, youth sports ceremonies, civic celebrations, and similar gatherings.

These commitments are more than attendance goals. They reflect my belief that leadership requires being present—listening to residents, understanding their concerns, celebrating their successes, and faithfully carrying out the responsibilities entrusted to me.

Showing up is the first step toward earning and maintaining the public's trust. I intend to do exactly that.
