I was born and raised right here in the 43rd AD - born at Providence St. Joseph's hospital, attended Laurel Hall School in North Hollywood (pre-school - 8th grade), and Providence High School where I graduated with honors. I attended college at the University of Southern California where I graduated with a degree in Political Science in 2003. I have always had a great love for my country and was lucky to grow up in a family that instilled this patriotism and activism at a young age. By the time I was a teenager I knew I wanted to serve my county and make a difference in my community. Out of college I started my work in politics as a volunteer for Arnold's 2003 campaign for Governor. My hard work as a volunteer paid off and I was given the opportunity to work on Governor-elect Arnold Schwarzenegger's Transition staff and then offered a position on the Governor's staff in Sacramento. I started as a Constituent Affairs Representative and finally as Deputy Director/Senior Representative of the Constituent Affairs Unit until 2005 when I left the administration to return to the Los Angeles area.

Upon my return to LA, I switched gears and entered the entertainment industry where I work full-time still in International Theatrical Distribution. It would not be long though before I would find my way back to my "passion". Being upset with the state of things locally, state-wide and nationally I got involved with the Presidential Election in 2008 and from there my involvement especially here in the 43rd AD, has continued. I ran for my first term on the 43rd Ad Central Committee in 2008 as a write-in candidate and won. One year into my term, I was elected by the Central Committee to serve as Chairman where I have worked tireless to build the GOP in this District and my work has only just begun. In addition to my work on the Central Committee the past year and a half, I have held/currently hold the following positions: San Gabriel Valley Regional Chair for the Steve Poizner for Governor campaign, Secretary of the San Fernando Valley Young Republicans, Social Media Chair/Recording Secretary for the San Fernando Valley Republican Womens Federated, First VP of the Glendale/Burbank Republican Assembly, Lead Volunteer for First Amendment Now, Republican Party of Los Angeles County Executive Committee Member, California Republican Party Delegate and have worked along side Sunder Ramani's campaign staff in my role as Central Committee Chairman for Sunder's campaign for the 43rd AD Assembly seat. All of these positions are volunteer and in addition to my full time job.

I am dedicated to strengthening the Republican Party here in the 43rd AD and in my first term I have worked tirelessly to set up the foundation in which the party can grow. I have worked with both new and long-time Republicans, Tea Party Members and community members to do this and I am excited about the progress we are already making. I am excited at the opportunity to serve another term where we can implement our efforts further - from increasing GOP voter registration, organizing solid precinct operations, supporting local candidate, representing our District not only locally but at the County level and beyond, and getting more Republicans involved.

To continue my work though, I need your vote.I hope that you will support me on June 8th.
