- ... like most "baby boomer" families, we headed to the country, and moved to the new community of Cerritos in 1968.
- I was a member of the first class in the brand-spankin'-new Cerritos Elementary School, the first school to have no walls dividing the classrooms.

- Forner Legislative Consultant to State Assembly School Safety Committee where I help write California's Anti-Bullying Bill which is now law.
Priorities:
- My campaign is not about building with blocks with the rest of the kids; it's about painting a new bold picture for ALL children of ABCUSD!
- I do not want my school board to not follow the leader, but become leaders, innovators, champions for causes. Its also about telling the truth.
