| About Me | I’m an attorney at the Santa Clara Valley Water District, I provide legal support to the Water Utility Enterprise, and have been immersed in many of its core work, including imported water, local water rights, recycle water, water quality, water treatment, water conservation, groundwater, and water supply planning.. I have had the good fortune to work with extremely intelligent people who are passionate about their role in providing our community with a safe, clean, and reliable water supply, while also being stewards of the County’s watershed resources. I am truly honored to be part of an organization that plays such a vital role in our community. Prior to joining the Water District, I worked as an in-house technology and patent attorney for various high-technology startup companies. I helped these companies develop value by building patent portfolios and creating licensing models. Each of these companies became enormously successful and were acquired by fortune 500 companies. Although I am proud of my accomplishments in the private sector, I am prouder to be part of the Water District, which plays such a vital role in ensuring the prosperity and quality of life in Santa Clara County. I served in the U.S. Navy from 1988 to 1994 as a nuclear power plant operator. Serving in Navy was one of the most challenging experiences of my life. The first two years of my naval career was spent training as a nuclear power plant operator. During this time, I attend class 9 hours each weekday and studied another 4 hours in the evening. The attrition rate was over 50%, but I was determined to make it through the nuclear training pipeline. I often tell folks that training to become a naval nuclear power plant operator was a lot more challenging than training to become an attorney. I still have vivid memories of law school classmates complaining about the impossible amount of cases we had to read each night. I just smiled and thought that was a cakewalk compared to the enormous amount of information we had to learn during Navy Nuclear Power School. After completing my nuclear power training, I was assigned to the U.S.S. Abraham Lincoln, which had a crew of over 5,500 sailors. During my 4 years (1990 – 1994) stationed on the Lincoln, I served as the Rector Mechanical Division’s Work Center Supervisor and a Chief Reactor Watch. Towards the end of my service, I was recognized as the crewmember most knowledgeable about the operation and maintenance of ship’s nuclear power plant auxiliary and mechanical systems. I was one of two qualified nuclear power plant quality assurance inspectors. Education is also important to me and to that end I completed my Bachelors of Science degree in Engineering Technology while I was in the Navy through correspondence and self-study and by combining the 2 years of college credit I received from my nuclear power training. I took the Law School Admission Test while the Lincoln was patrolling the Persian Gulf in support of Desert Shield in 1993, and then attended Santa Clara University School of Law from 1994 to 1997. I was admitted to the California State Bar in 1997 and U.S. Patent and Trademark Bar in 2002. I’ve bee...(read more) |
