                            City Council Member
   Occupation: Engineer/Project Manager
   Age: 36
   Education and Qualifications:

   The Los Altos City Council faces many challenges such as plans for the
   Rosita Site, the future of Moffett Field and downtown parking
   problems. It is the Council's duty to assess these issues, prioritize
   them, devise policies, approve contracts and delegate actions.
   
   My present career responsibilities mirror similar challenges. As an
   engineer and project manager, I analyze budgets, create proposals,
   standardize test plans and define manufacturing standards. I provide
   leadership to a multifunctional group to solve complex issues. This
   ability to coordinate teamwork is an essential skill since the City
   Council is, and must perform, as a team. A unified council can pull
   together all its resources and act with maximum efficiency. My
   experience and education in business and law qualifies me to analyze
   detailed issues in formulating action plans.
   
   Earning three advanced degrees while working full time demanded
   dedication, commitment and perseverance. It is these qualities along
   with the expertise I have developed in my career and my education that
   I will contribute to our city council for the greater good of the Los
   Altos community.
