Mike began his career as the director of facilities planning for the Capistrano Unified School District, and later in his career, managed Santa Ana Unified School District’s construction program. During Mike’s service at Vista Unified and Santa Ana Unified, both districts’ voters approved local bond measures for the first time since the 1970s.
