I am a 23 year resident of Dana Point and currently serve as Mayor of the Dana Point City Council. I have been married to Carole for 40+ years and have three daughters who graduated from Dana Hills High School and have gone to higher education.  Being a Vietnam era veteran and business executive, I understand the importance of commitment, leadership, action, fiscal responsibility, and community service.

 

I formed and operated $50,000,000 divisions for two Fortune 500 companies. While Kingston Technology's VP, Sales, revenue grew $1,200,000,000 in 7 years, while incurring no debt.

 

The City of Dana Point is in great financial shape and we need to keep it that way.  I am Still a “No Nonsense” businessperson who answers to nobody but you, the citizens. I will maintain our outstanding quality of life and healthy beaches in Dana Point, Capistrano Beach, and Monarch Beach.

 

During my tenure as Mayor, an outside survey done by True North rated citizen of the City either satisfied or extremely satisfied 96% of the time with City Government and how it delivered services.  To read the complete survey, click on survey results.
