I am a proud 23-year IBEW 332 member. I have served 12 years as a 332 elected officer in 5 different positions: business manager, president, vice president, executive board, and examining board.
I also have 9 years of firsthand experience with 332 operations as a business rep, lead organizer, assistant business manager, and currently as business manager.
After the tragic passing of our business manager, Javier Casillas, last year, I stepped up to lead 332's complex operations. It was the right thing to do while our local was reeling from the devastating loss. I have never sought attention or the spotlight. I’ve always just raised my hand and asked, “Where do you need me?”
With almost a decade in the 332 office, I know the ins and outs of our operations. I have successfully negotiated record contracts, solved members' job site issues, organized new members and contractors, run dispatch, educated members about our pensions, expanded union social activities, built our team, and supervised staff.
I’m stepping up again with all of my experience and my continued commitment to lead our local with stability, integrity, and consistency.
Your decision on who will run your local should not be taken lightly. Take a long, hard look at the candidates asking for your trust with your contracts, your benefits, and the future of 332 (including me).
Please take some time to read through my campaign website, (menu button top right, multiple pages) talk with other members who have been around for a while, read and watch the variety of endorsements, and please don't hesitate to reach out to me directly with any questions.

I have earned the trust of the ETASV leadership and staff, directly working together to ensure our apprentices have world-class training opportunities and to grow our program for our local's future.
Our Apprenticeship
Our apprentices and apprenticeship are foundational to the future success of Local 332. This belief is why I've invested several years contributing my time and experience to help shape our future.
-
Instructor for 6 years: 2019 - 2025
-
4 years in apprenticeship classrooms: 3rd & 5th year
-
2 years teaching Code Test Prep
I developed and instituted financial education classes in boot camp after recognizing a need for many of our new apprentices.
In addition to teaching for 6 years, I saw a need for education on our pension plans. I took action and worked with ETASV leadership to implement opportunities to teach our apprentices how to maximize their retirement plans.
From my family to yours, I am committed to standing up for 332 members by advocating for workers’ rights and negotiating great contracts. I am always striving to improve working conditions, pay, benefits, retirement, and work opportunities for all members.

I am 1,000% dedicated to this local and the IBEW. I simply want to see our local thriving for the next 4 generations - with great contracts, strong working relationships with our contractors to create more work opportunities for 332 members and add new benefits. I want to grow our apprenticeship which will strengthen our future.
I will continue to invest in our next generation of leaders in the IBEW.
Teams & Trust
Just as in the military and on the job site, success follows strong teams with strong leaders. I have been recruiting, building and leading 332's teams for years, with our business reps / organizers; our H&W&P Trustees; and ETASV Trustees.
Trust on a team does not simply happen with an election, it is earned with years of hard work and dedication.
