Ok… I can’t let the month of March end without mentioning an event that happened earlier this month that makes me smile broadly, and nod in full agreement, with Councilwoman and City Council President, Annalisa Perea who selected my amazing life partner, my wife Debi, as the Fresno City District One, Woman of the Year for 2024.
Debi, humbled by such an honor, stood with 7 other women of the year selected by their respective council members and the Mayor as their choice for Woman of the Year.
Since I’ve known Debi she has dedicated herself to her family, her music, an award winning business, Fresno Music Academy and arts, her work with Hinds Hospice, several years now as a member and board member with the Cultural Arts Rotary club of Fresno, graduate of the 37th class of Fresno Chamber of Commerce’s Leadership Fresno cohort, ten years of delivering Fresno’s only Rock n’ Roll, Hearts on Fire, and now Peace Rocks Foundation, a non-profit dedicated to “People Engaged in Arts, Culture and Education”.
I don’t know many others that have a drive like hers, a drive that, that in some way or another, promotes peace and love to those hearts she can touch, directly or indirectly.
I am extremely proud of this beautiful woman and I know she’s not done.
She has more in mind.
I feel privileged to be with her and alongside her. Together we travel through life and work to unravel the mysteries, surmount the complexities and take joy while on this journey.
Congratulations, Deb. ❤️
