MEET GETRO

A Leader Rooted in Palmdale

My commitment to public service has been the defining theme of my life. As a U.S. Army veteran, I learned the values of leadership, integrity, accountability, and service before self—principles that have guided me throughout my professional career and community involvement.

I am running for City Council because I believe in Palmdale’s future. I believe our city has the talent, resources, and potential to become one of the most dynamic communities in Southern California.

I am honored to currently serve as Vice Chair of the Palmdale Planning Commission, where I have helped guide responsible growth and development. In this role, I have supported housing opportunities, economic development, infrastructure investment, and policies that prepare Palmdale for the future while protecting the quality of life our residents deserve.

I have also been actively involved in our community through resource fairs, outreach events, and volunteer work with local nonprofits.

Professionally, I serve as an Assistant Staff Analyst with the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health in the Palmdale office. In this role, I work directly with residents facing challenges related to housing, employment, healthcare access, mental health, and economic stability. I have collaborated with agencies including the Justice Care and Opportunities Department, California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, GEO Reentry Services, the Department of Mental Health, L.A. Care, and Health Net.

Beyond my professional work, I am a husband, father, youth football coach, mentor, and active community volunteer. I believe strong communities are built through service, collaboration, and a willingness to invest in future generations. My work with local youth has strengthened my commitment to creating opportunities and ensuring Palmdale remains a city where families can thrive.
