Association Executive & Internet Media Specialist
Greater Los Angeles Area
My background includes 10 years in residential mortgage sales, 3 years in technical recruiting (headhunting) and 4 years in manufacturing sales. But it has only been since 2006 that I have been employed at a job where I am doing exactly what I want to be doing.
Government affairs is a stressful but rewarding field in politics. As the political leader of an association that includes more than 10,000 individual companies, nationwide, I have a great deal of influence and responsibility. My position is often referred to as the "local lobbyist".
I also participate on several political and non-political boards. The Newhall Redevelopment Committee is a good example of where I put both my political and construction background to work.
I have also been publishing an online journal (blog) since 2004. http://www.socalpundit.com is a blog dedicated to conservative news and views from the perspective of California Conservatives. Please stop by.
I also have a MySpace page at http://www.myspace.com/socalpundit.
