I was honored as the Outgoing Chairman of the Board of the Montebello Chamber of Commerce & Industry on June 12, 2009. The Montebello Chamber is rated the #21 Chamber of the Top 25 in Los Angeles County and in the Top 100 in the State of California. The Montebello Chamber of Commerce works hard to promote and protect the local business community. I had the honor to be awarded a certificate from the State Legislature by California State Assemblymember Charles Calderon. In addition I received letters from Governor Schwarzenegger, Congresswoman Grace F. Napolitano, and the California State Senate.

Congressman and Presidential Candidate
A quick photo with Texas Congressman & Presidential Candidate Ron Paul on Capitol Hill in Washington D.C. March 12, 2008. Congressman Ron Paul is one of the most logical Politicians and is known for his strong support of the Second Ammendment. I'm hopeful that Congressman Ron Paul will one day join his colleagues and support the Armenian Genocide Resolution. I often wonder if a Candidate with so much logic can ever be elected President of the United States?

I take pride as a Political advocate and volunteer for many organizations such as the Armenian National Committee of America and The Montebello Chamber of Commerce & Industry.

Zipline Tour in Kapalua, Maui
I'm standing with my girlfriend Ani on the Zipline tour in Kapalua, Maui. This picture was taken November 2011 just before a 1 1/2 mile zipline ride thru the Rainforest. Traveling is great! A few places I have been include 19 States, Armenia, Russia, Mexico, France, Italy, Argentina, The Bahamas, and The Cayman Islands. I most enjoy weekend trips to Las Vegas, Palm Springs, and boating in Lake Havasu with friends.
