board officers

 As a local Financial Planning Advisor I have had the pleasure of serving many Police and Fire families in their future planning. A common thread exists among these families - a heart to serve. Through these relationships I was introduced to Vacaville PAL and the opportunity to serve alongside like-minded individuals. I can think of no greater need(s) in every community than to 1) provide opportunities for our youth to be nudged toward a safe & positive path as citizens and 2) building trust between law enforcement and citizens. I am honored, as a PAL board member, to be able to support these goals.  

 I grew up in Eugene, OR (Go Ducks!), and moved to California after HS graduation to play football. After finishing up College at Cal Poly in San Luis Obispo, I moved to the North Bay for a little bit before making Vacaville my home.Although I was not born in Vacaville, there is a reason I have lived here for over 20 years, and plan to make this my “Forever Home”. There is a great sense of Community and Safety here in Vacaville.I was humbly honored when I was asked to join the Board of Directors of the Vacaville Police Activities League. I believe it is so important for our youths today to have positive role models and feel safe in our society. There is nothing better than providing kids with Safety, Comfort, and a Smile. 

 I grew up in Oakland California. I graduated from Oakland High School in 1981 and went on to attend Laney College where I pursued a music career as a Latin percussionist and performed with the college orchestra. I serve as a community outreach leader at the Vacaville storehouse. In 2015 I joined PAL and I chose to serve on the board. I support PAL by providing lunches for youth in the Junior Giants program and PAL’s basketball camp. I enjoy music and camping but my greatest joy is my family.
