I have been working as the Administrator of a private nursing home for the past 6 years.

While working in the capacity of Administrator, I am responsible for human resources related tasks, payroll, budget management, customer service, insurance billing, contract negotiations and implementation, marketing activities, ensuring regulatory compliance and running the daily operation of the care facility . I grew up in Simi Valley where I enjoyed the small town atmosphere and pride that had developed within the community. I graduated in 1990 from Royal High School and then began working and going to college until I graduated from the University of Phoenix with my Bachelors of Science degree in Business Management. I have lived in Fillmore the past 11 years with my wife of 21 years. We truly love Fillmore and appreciate every aspect of its small town character. |
