I am a retired winegrape grower. I move to Paso Robles in 1998 and planted a vineyard. I became active in the community and served on the Board of Directors for the Paso Robles Wine Country Alliance for 6 years and served on the Board of Directors and as President of Friends of Hearst Castle for 8 years.

In 2012, I became interested in the groundwater issues of the Paso Robles Basin. I organized several meetings of concerned farmers and landowners. From these meetings, PRAAGS was formed leading to the special election for the Basin-wide water district. Following that election, I helped to organize the EPCWD Formation Committee. The Committee has successfully moved the district formation through LAFCO and the fully-formed EPCWD is the result.

I was born and raised in Central California, and migrated to the Central Coast in 1999 to attend Cal Poly. I became very interested in winemaking and grape growing. After completing a long career at Cal Poly, I began working on a second education at J. Lohr Winery, Meridan and finally opened a winery with my family which ended in 2013. I then became involved with Limoneira and Windfall Farms of which I am the General Manager.
