2012 Clairemont Garden Tour & Expo Video

Posted on June 1, 2012 | Leave a comment

As President of the Clairemont Town Council, it’s an honor to help provide support and guidance to the Council’s Garden Tour Committee, which works to organize the annual Clairemont Garden Tour — a fundraising event for the Council that helps fund our community improvement grants.

This year, an Expo was added to the day-long event located at the beautiful SDG&E Energy Innovation Center at 4760 Clairemont Mesa Blvd.

Thanks to our main sponsor this year, Janett Lewis, she was able to capture much of the event in the following YouTube video — featuring interviews with homeowners,  Garden Tour Committee Chair Dana Sortwell, and myself.

UPDATED: Empowerment Through Equality: Redistricting, And Why It’s Important

Posted on May 19, 2011 | 1 Comment

UPDATED: June 23rd, 2011

Before I begin this post, I must first preface the fact the only reason any congressional, legislative, and/or other governmental districts are gerrymandered for one of two reasons: 1) to protect incumbents, and 2) to disenfranchise voters and communities.

Proud to Serve

Clairemont Town Council being sworn-in by San Diego City Councilmember Lorie Zapf.

Since I had the opportunity to move into this Clairemont neighborhood of San Diego, I quickly jumped at the chance to get involved. The best way I figured was to join the Clairemont Town Council.
