Whittier has been home to my wife, Kristina, and me since 1976. In 2008, we will celebrate our 37th wedding anniversary.
Kristina retired a few years ago from a career as a hair stylist and Whittier salon owner. Now, she teaches Tai Chi Chih classes for the YMCA and ballet at Dance En L’air.
In addition to being married for a long time, I have been teaching at Rio Hondo College for a long time, 32 years, although now a retired, part-time teacher. Over those years, I have taught classes in California and United States Government.
Public service beckoned long ago also. I served for 11 years as an elected member of the Whittier City School Board of Education, and have been a member of the Whittier City Council since 2000. I served as Mayor from 2004-2005 and 2007-2008.
When I find spare time, I enjoy playing tennis, hiking, bicycling and finding distant cousins to enlarge my genealogy file.
As your council representative, I will keep working to make Whittier the community in which you wish to live, work and shop.
