I’ve always been a hard worker.
When I was 14, I lost my father and stepped up to take care of my Grandmother and Mother.
I started my business, Minuteman Transport, 35 years ago.
I’m proud to provide work for almost 100 people!
We like to say that Minuteman Transport feeds the families of the Pacific Southwest! We transports and warehouses refrigerated products and dry goods; cheese, deli products, beverages, packaging etc.
Over the years, we have seen a lot of changes.
In the old days, a tarp and ice in the back of a truck were the method of food transportation!
Today, technology and state of the art systems have improved things.
I understand how important it is to embrace change and new ideas.
I approach my service on Arcadia City Council the same way I approach running my business:
It’s about customer service, I think of the residents and business owners in Arcadia as our customers
• It’s about Problem solving
• It’s about team work and finding solutions
• It’s about understanding the day-to-day operations
• It’s about uniting people
• It’s about collaboration
• It’s about listening
• It’s about being organized and strategic
• It’s about relationships
• It’s about Fiscal Management
• It’s about crossing boundaries
• It’s about being open to new ideas
• It’s about the next generation
