City of Lake Elsinore
Attn: P lanning Commission Selection
As indicated within the enclosed resume, I believe I have the credentials and experience the
organization is seeking to continue to fulfill the duties with the Lake Elsinore Planning
Commission.
I was given the opportunity to serve on the Lake Elsinore Planning Commission in September of
2016 and have been fortunate to serve with my fellow commissioners, city planning staff and the
Community Development Director. Coming from the building industry I felt my experience
would provide another viewpoint for the commission and strengthen what I feel is a very cohesive
and effective group. I believe my work experience with the Riverside County Building
Department over the previous 21 years that has included supervision of the Riverside County
Building Department and all included operations, supervision of professional and support staff,
building plan review, Planning Department/ land development committee review, code
interpretation, counter services, and field inspection. I have also provided classroom training, as
well as representing and lead departmental meetings with staff, building professionals and the
public.
My duties over the years have included extensive interaction with the public that include
residential and commercial property owners, & design professionals on a wide variety of projects
and concerns throughout the unincorporated areas of Riverside county.
I have achieved job industry related degree certifications. I have completed Riverside County
supervisor and management academies, and I have completed my studies at California Baptist
University and obtained a Bachelor Degree with a focus in Public Administration.
I believe my education and work experience, combined with my work ethic and continued desire to
provide the best service possible to the public and fellow team members will allow me to an asset
in this capacity with the City of Lake Elsinore and I look forward to continue having an
opportunity to assist in any way I can.
