For 31 years I owned and operated RK's Surf Shop at the oceanfront. Currently, I am self-employed in mostly residential construction and building with an OSHA certification. My wife retired in 2019 after 38 years of teaching school. I have been heavily involved in local politics for the last 26 years. When I have seen things done incorrectly by the city, I have gone after it to fix it. I will governor with transparency, tenacity, truth and trust.
