West Los Angeles

I have had a series of careers that have far surpassed anything I ever expected in my life. My hope is that for that reason, I want to find simple but effective ways to give back at least as much as life has given to me!

Santa Monica, California

I was honored to serve as president of the Michaud Insurance Agency at a pivital moment, and to have led an outstanding, experienced group of agents under the leadership of the owner, May Michaud!. On November 1, 2014 Michaud Insurance Agency became a Nationwide Insurance Agency. During its first year with Nationwide, this relatively small agency came out number 2 of all Nationwide agents in the five western states. Further, this agency ended 2015 ranked number 7 in overall car insruance sales for Nationwide throughout ALL of the United State. The Michaud Insurance Agency currently have two local offices in Bakersfield. This outstanding agency strives to be the only agency its clients will need to protect the people and things most important to them. This outstanding agency provides home, auto, life, business and financial services.

Malibur, California

So typical of my career, I never anticipated working for Pepperdine University! But I must say that my 7 years there turned out to be the highlight of my career! I began my time at Pepperdine providing oversight for the Design and Construction (DDC) team and a few years later was asked to expand our team to include the Department of Facilities Services (DFS). Subsequently, I was asked to include the Department of Public Safety (DPS) under our umbrella. The leadership of Pepperdine gave me an incredible opportunity to focus on developing "the people"! My view is that if we take care of the people, the work will take care of itself and throughout my short 7 years I was present to observe the finest people I have ever worked with blossom into clear thinking, dedicated, creative, and value based leaders! The DDC team, made up of very talented architects, engineers, project managers and supported by a very strong administrative team, are playing a quiet role in effectively planning and implementing a plan to re energize the architecture and infrastructure of this amazing campus. The leaders of the DFS are using the very talented and motivated staff and technology to revitalize the day-to-day needs of the campus and the infrastructure of the campus. Sadly, I spent the least amount of my time at Pepperdine with the incredible DPS team. In my view it is very sad that we even have to have public safety on campuses in America. Yet, in this world of sudden and unexpected violence, discontent and so many kinds of incidents, large and small it is essential that campuses in the United States provide such services. In fact, it is essential to have public safety professionals dedicated to the security and safety of the students, staff, facility, visitors and property on a 24/7 basis. Pepperdine, like so many other campuses, is a large and complex organization. Providing oversight to this amazing team of "can do" professionals was a privilege!

Getty Center And The Villa

My career with the Getty began with my expecting to stay there for about 6 months -- which turned out to be 19 years. I began as the first training supervisor of the Security Department. Within a year I moved to Director of Security for the museum, with a staff of about 60 employees. In 1993 I was asked to become the first Director of Security for the J. Paul Getty Trust and to oversee all security, fire, locksmiths, executive protection and emergency response efforts for the Getty Trust. Our staff grew to over 400 employees with an operating budget of about $ 20 million. After we completed the challenges that came with the design and construction of the Getty Center, I moved the Getty Conservation Institute (GCI), which has had an incredible impact on conservation of heritage, collections and historic sites around the world. The Getty and specifically, GCI is responsible for sending me to more than 40 countries, including throughout most of Europe, Asia, South America, the Middle East, and Russia. I worked under outstanding leadership and was afforded amazing opportunities to have an impact on security, fire, emergency preparation, and the important conservation concepts within the cultural community.

Santa Monica, California

In 1970, I was very fortunate to become a fire fighter for the Santa Monica Fire Department. As like so many other young firefighters in the early 70's, I wanted to become a fire/paramedic and in 1974 I was among the first certified in Los Angles County (County # 0529). In 1976 I was promoted and became the first Fire Captain/Paramedic in this fire department. During my career, I was fortunate to spend time as an engine captain, truck captain, an arson investigator, public information officer (PIO), lead the day-to-day activities of the fire prevention bureau, deliver 5 babies, and I enjoyed every day! On December 11, 1981, when II was #1 on the list to become battalion chief when I fell down a flight of stairs. After several surgeries, I had to retire from the fire department. Later, after I gained perspective, I sometimes said I fell into my next job at the J. Paul Getty Museum.
