After a 31-year career in the Fire Service, I retired as Fire Chief from the City of Newark. I served as a Director on the Fairview Fire Protection District Board from 2010 -2012. I moved to Castro Valley after living 36 years in Fairview and was no longer able to serve on the Board. From 2013-2016, as a Fire Services Consultant, I was contracted to work for the District to provide professional and administrative support. In 2017 I was hired as part time General Manager.
