“God wouldn’t have put that dream in your heart if He didn’t have a plan to fulfill it” -Unknown
I was born and raised in the Excelsior neighborhood of San Francisco. I graduated from School of the Epiphany and Archbishop Riordan High School. At Riordan, I was selected to attend the highly respected and selective American Legion Boys’ State, an educational instruction program, which was my first exposure to local, county and state government.
Two weeks after I graduated high school, in June 2003, I attended United States Marine Corps Recruit Training, also known as Boot Camp, at the Marine Corps Recruit Depot (MCRD) San Diego, CA. I served 10 years in the United States Marine Corps (Reserves) and deployed in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom in 2005, where I received a Combat Meritorious Promotion while serving in the Al Anbar Province of Iraq. I earned the ranks of Corporal, Sergeant and Staff Sergeant and held roles to include fire team leader, squad leader, Paraloft Section Chief and Platoon Sergeant. I served with units to include: 4th Air Delivery Platoon, 3rd Air Naval Gunfire Liaison Company (ANGLICO), 4th Force Reconnaissance Company, and 6th Air Naval Gunfire Liaison Company (ANGLICO). I earned awards and qualifications to include: Iraqi Campaign Medal, Global War on Terrorism Service Medal, Certificate of Commendation, Meritorious Mast, Navy and Marine Corps Parachutist, Military Freefall Parachutist, Staticline Jumpmaster and Parachute Rigger.
In 2010, I earned a BA in Criminal Justice and Minor in Asian American Studies from San Francisco State University. While at SFSU, I was highly involved in the student organization, Pilipino American Collegiate Endeavor (PACE) and was a teaching assistant to highly respected Asian American Studies Professor, Danilo Begonia.
I have approximately 10 years of law enforcement experience and currently work as a police officer at the University of California San Francisco (UCSF) Police Department. I have worked for various law enforcement agencies in San Francisco, working both in custody and patrol. The agencies include: Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco Police Department (Police Technician), San Francisco Police Department, San Francisco Sheriff’s Department, San Francisco State University (SFSU) Police Department and University of California San Francisco (UCSF) Police Department. Some of my assignments/training include Police Corporal/Watch Commander, Citizen’s Academy Coordinator, Field Training Officer (FTO), Firearms/Patrol Rifle Instructor, Tactical Medical Technician (TMT), Hostage/Crisis Negotiations, Crises Prevention Institute (CPI) Instructor and Union Director.
I am running for San Francisco Sheriff because I want the citizens, employees and visitors of San Francisco to feel safe again. I want to address the ongoing issues of open air drug use, violent crime, property crimes and sideshows. Our community needs to feel safe so small businesses and the local economy can thrive.
Let's work together for a better San Francisco!!!
