Candidate for
Council Member; City of Orinda

My career includes molecular biologic research at four universities. I value critical thinking. As a physician I'm responsible for decisions regarding others' lives. Trained as a psychiatrist I deal with human emotions and behavior daily. I recognize and have recommendations for individual and organizational dysfunction. I have additional training in public health. Statistics and public welfare are not obscure concepts to me.

With two dozen years experience as a successful businessman and educator, I now wish to serve Orinda. We have untapped talent waiting to improve our community. I intend to be an example of citizen participation. I will be brutally honest. Experienced residents will be involved without concern for ties to the Council. Let us walk the walk, not merely talk the talk.

I'm first generation American. I grew up with Depression era parents who emphasized values of diligence, fiscal responsibility and planning.

I've been president of a state professional organization, testified in Sacramento, served thirteen years on a state council, and developed regulations affecting the lives of millions of Californians. My intention is to represent you, the citizens of Orinda.
