Bio: Education and Background As a young man, I worked during the summers in Yosemite National Park while I attended college. Living in Yosemite was great, but working there was not. Yosemite was, in essence, a company town. One company employed everyone and the same company housed everyone. If a certain manager did not like you, he had the power to fire you, evict you from your house, and kick you out of your entire community. I saw, close up, that that kind of power corrupts. I saw managers who exercised their powers carelessly, and worse, I saw managers who exercised their powers viciously – sometimes against my best friends. I wondered whether there was something I could do about this, and so I began talking to my friends about organizing a union. After a couple of years of hard work, my friends and I were able to wage a campaign that won an election to certify the 1500 employees of Yosemite into a union. And after another year of work, we were able to negotiate a collective bargaining agreement that instituted basic protections for the employees against unfair treatment by the company and its managers. This experience led me to conclude that, as John Lennon put it, “A working class hero is something to be.” I decided to dedicate my life to fighting for those who must work for a living. I figured that the best way to do this was to become a lawyer, so after graduating from U.C. Berkeley, I enrolled in law school at the McGeorge School of Law, U.O.P. While there,
