Proven leadership for a Brighter Future

My background mirrors that of many in our community. I come from an immigrant family that sought the American dream for a better future. Born in Mexico in 1982, I arrived in the U.S. when I was four years old and have called Lynwood home since 1987. Growing up here, I attended local schools like Lindberg Elementary, Hosler Junior High, and Lynwood High School.

My journey after high school led me into the world of entrepreneurship, a path inspired by my father's successful mechanic and towing business. At the age of 19, I founded my own company, a venture that taught me invaluable skills in negotiation, delegation, finance, and budgeting. This experience, coupled with my role in growing my father's business into a successful enterprise employing over 15 people and operating nationwide, has prepared me for the challenges of the Lynwood Unified School Board.

As a father of three boys and a girl raised in Lynwood, I have always felt strongly connected to this community. Beyond my business success, I have been driven by a desire to give back. This led me to serve as a planning commissioner in 2013 and later as a Lynwood City Council member, including a term as Mayor in 2022. Now, I am eager to bring my experience and dedication to the Lynwood Unified School Board, where I can continue to serve our community.
