I think strong community is foundational to all that really counts in life. I see EQAC as a way to show my willingness to work constructively and be involved in a meaningful way. I ran for city council which clearly shows my interest in Newport Beach. 2) 1 have love of the environment and have studied environmental issues at a graduate level at Claremont. The manner in which we deal with environmental issues will determine our children's future. 3) 1 worked in the steel recycling industry for nearly 20 years and in addition to trading metals, i managed large scrap recycling industries in Detroit, Iowa and Southern California. I have been involved numerous times with the EIR process while in the steel industry. In the 1980's and 1990's more stringent environmental rules and regulation made us all somewhat expert on land and water quality issues. A scrap yard is in a true sense a waste management site. 4) If my position on the Banning Ranch Conservancy Board is seen as a conflict, as I think it would be, I would resign my position there. Of course my hopes for Banning Ranch would not change but that could well be a plus at EQAC. I certify that all statements made on this application are true and correct to the best of my knowledge.
