| Info | District 8 is my home. It's the community I was raised in. Now, it's where my wife and I are raising our two young children. I'm passionate about making our neighborhood even better for them and for all our children.
After immigrating here at a young age, I attended Chaboya Middle School and graduated from Silver Creek High School. My educational journey continued at San Jose State University, where I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Administration of Justice and later my Master’s degree in Business Administration.
My career in Law Enforcement started over 20 years ago as a Santa Clara County Sheriff's Deputy. For the past 15 plus years, I've had the honor of serving the community of San Jose as a police officer. From working as a detective, then a field training officer, to working in the Chief's Office as a Community liaison and now as the Sergeant in our District 8. I've learned the importance of community policing.
Community policing is about building relationships with youth, residents, families, small business owners, the religious community, and city leaders. These connections are the backbone of effective law enforcement.
As your representative, I'll bring my experience in building relationships to the City Council. I believe in involving stakeholders when decisions about policies and budgets are made.
Your priorities are my priorities.
1. Improving public safety
2. Providing the right tools for our unhoused neighbors to transition into permanent housing
3. Economic Development
As a police officer, I understand the challenges our police department faces – recruiting and retaining officers, reducing response times, and strengthening community relationships. We need effective solutions.
I've experienced homelessness at a young age, it was traumatic. Our unhoused neighbors are suffering, and they need compassion, services, and the right tools to get them off the streets. My commitment goes beyond providing shelter. I’m dedicated to helping individuals from the beginning to the end of their journey, fostering independence and self-sufficiency.
I have spent my career as a frontline public servant. I have first-hand knowledge of what programs and services work in our neighborhoods and our city. Unfortunately, laws are passed that look good on paper but do not work on our streets and for our communities. I will bring my experiences working in our communities to bring changes that help us build a safer and a cleaner San Jose.
Together, we can work for a better and safer San Jose. Let's build a future where our children can thrive, where our neighborhoods are safer, and where everyone has a place to call home. I'm here to be your voice, your advocate, and your representative in District 8.
