I began my career with the Laborers Union in 1998 although having worked in the construction industry since 1989. My last job working in the field, I was an Assistant-Superintendent building the new Juvenile Hall Jail Facility in Oxnard.

With my participation and involvement in my locals activities and community actions, I was nominated and elected as an Executive Board Officer of my local union in 2001 and still presently hold that seat. I also was Elected and currently am a Delegate to the Central Labor Council on behalf of my Union.

In April 2002, I was hired by the Laborers Training School as the Apprenticeship Coordinator for the counties of Ventura, Kern, San Luis Obispo and Santa Barbara. I now currently only cover Local 585, servicing the Ventura County area. The past 20 years has been a blessed journey as I have been able to lead and guide hundreds of apprentices to the Skilled Journey Worker status.

The highlights of my job as a Coordinator are hearing the stories from my graduates about how the Laborers Union has changed and improved their lives. I look forward to continuing to do my duties as a Coordinator and helping the future of our Industry thrive as newer tasks and  technologies evolve.
