7. Do you have a "Chamber story" to share?

We’re proud to have been a member of the Temecula Valley Chamber of Commerce for more than 30 years, right around the time I began my banking career. The Chamber has been a constant presence throughout my professional journey, offering support, connection, and community. I’ve had the privilege of raising my four children in this beautiful valley, and through the Chamber, I’ve built strong and lasting friendships. It’s more than a business network; it’s a place where relationships grow and where local professionals come together to help Temecula thrive.
