The Planning Commission seems a good fit for me as I have no desire to be involved in campaigning for political office. I grew up in a construction -oriented environment and worked in a couple of trades through high school and college. I have successfully processed an investment property through the City of Laguna Beach Design Review Board, and Building Department; purchased lots in Corona and built two industrial buildings for investment purposes, purchased land and built an industrial building in Rancho Cucamonga; processed building plans for my new home through Approval -in - Concept in Newport Beach and applied for and obtained California Coastal Commission permitting for same. As an attorney I represented many small to mid-size businesses, working with them as a business advisor in their daily "give and take" of getting along in the business world, as well as representing them on their legal issues. I drafted and negotiated a development agreement with the City of Redlands for a natural resources client, have represented that client during the annexation process by Redlands, dealt with the California Department of Fish and Game and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service regarding endangered species for ongoing operations, worked with various agencies in processing an Environmental Impact Report and generally dealt with the overall compliance processes necessary to conduct various businesses. I was also deeply involved in the acquisition and sale of businesses and real estate.
