My family settled here in Northern California six generations ago and developed such local landmarks as the Nave Shopping Center and Nave Bowling Lanes. I graduated from public school here, San Rafael High, and attended San Francisco State University. I married my wife Debra here. Sixteen years ago, my daughter Raquel, and, two months ago, my son Paul, were born here at Marin General. I founded a very successful business here in the district, Nave’s Limousine Service. I received my pilot's license here in Novato at Gnoss Field. I've been a successful developer and investor here in Marin County. I began my successful quest for a world boxing title in a San Rafael garage and trained for the championship bout at a Rohnert Park gym. My father Richard served on the San Rafael City Council here and my mother Dolly worked tirelessly for our local public schools and to restore our local public parks. I received over 9,000 votes for 6th District State Assembly. And it is here that I have continued my family’s tradition of community service, as a school activist constantly working to turn my own mistakes to the benefit of local kids, as a board member for the Marin City Boxing Club, as a motivational speaker and fundraiser, and now as a candidate for the Governor of the State of California.
