I graduated from UCLA in 1986 with a Bachelor's of Science in Psychobiology. I also have a master's degree in Public Policy from the University of Maryland in 1988. I worked for the U.S. Congress from 1988 to 2002 as a policy analyst/investigator. I returned to Thousand Oaks in 2002 and I have been working as an insurance agent.

I am easy going, love to work out and run, play tennis, and enjoy the outdoors.
