I moved down to Orange County in January 2003. I have worked with Cor-O-Van Record Management Corporation for over 18 years now. How lucky I was to be able to relocate from San Francisco and stay with the same family that I have worked for the last 18 years. There are many challenges when starting up a new location. Fullerton is Cor-O-Vans' sixth location in The State of California. No one knew what a Cor-O-Van was even though, we are the largest privately owned record storage company in the state. I started out slow with OCARMA. I started by attending the meeting, then I stepped up to be the historian and for the past year was President and will follow up this year with my final year as President. I can only express my gratitude to the OCARMA for the fine job that is done year after year. The board provides our members with valuable educational information on compliance issues and legal restrictions meetings. Please go to the web site to see what we have in store for this year. I hope to see most of our members at ARMA International. Las Vegas is so close.

In my many years with Cor-O-Van, I have gone back to college. I received my Bachelor's Degree in Business and Information Systems and my Master's Degree in Business and Administration. I continue to grow and learn on a daily basis. This is why I enjoy participating in the strategic meetings for each year's agenda for OCARMA.

I want to thank everyone for their support over the last 5 years and hope to be involved with OCARMA for years to come.
