OC Register columnist Frank Mickadeit’s wrote a column today was way off base. There is a link to it on the main FR page.
My brother Brian is running for Moulton Niguel Water District – Division 5 and he is well qualified. Brian is an involved and passionate member of the Laguna Niguel community. He is running to address specific water policy areas. His background and community involvement make him just as or more qualified to run for office than many current OC elected officials at the local and state level.
Brian serves on the Laguna Niguel Parks and Recreation Commission and he is an OC Parks Commissioner. He serves on the board of the Saddleback College Foundation and as president of his 600+ homeowner association.
Brian is president of a company he founded that distributes metal fasteners- the company has some ten employees and does business domestically and internationally. Prior to starting his current business, Brian spent more than a decade in the finance and technology worlds where he started, built and sold several companies.
Brian has received the endorsement of the CRA, OCYRs and the Republican Party of Orange County.
Brian is married, has a son and a new baby on the way.
I stand by MY comments to Mickadeit. I was simply trying to demonstrate my willingness to do whatever it takes to help my brother.
I want to make sure those who read the OC Register today, don’t judge my brother based on ill-informed, tongue-in-cheek commentary.
In Mickadeit’s attempt to be funny, my brother’s real and accomplished background was lost and I have to set the record straight.
