I am a family physician, live in High Valley with my wife, four sons raised in Poway, two dogs (Golden and Boston), two brand new kittens, box turtle, and Lionhead rabbit. I run, cycle, swim, and do triathlons (all very slowly … usually one of the last 5-10 guys to finish).
I love living in Poway for its serenity, safety, and “City In The Country” atmosphere which I aim to protect. Poway trails and open space are two of its most valuable attributes contributing to quality of life. Poway volunteers are its most valuable human resource. All Poway residents deserve a voice in City development, traffic safety, and future of Poway decisions.
