I am a businessman in corporate America and have been entrusted by the people of California for different positions. A career Chief Financial Officer, companies and their shareholders have trusted me to guard their assets, help guide businesses to success, and instill credibility.
My business card says "Special Situation Solutions" because I get involved in difficult business situations and help turn the entity around. I take a practical approach, focusing on what the problem is, not what the politics around it may be. My philosophy is most people know what the problems are, but many times for political or similar situations, they are afraid to speak up or do not know what to. I facilitate getting the problem out on the table and coming up with the solutions. That is what I want to do for the State of California. For you. Being Secretary of State puts me in a position where I can emphasize to the uninvolved people that they can change the skyrocketing costs, crime rates, bad commmutes and poorly performing schools by simply getting more involved, especially by voting for the candidates that are best suited to address those issues, and that is what I intend to do. Elections that have to be fair, which the Secretary of State is charged with ensuring.
