I am a Financial Services Representative affiliated with Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company (MassMutual). My broad knowledge of insurance products gives my clients the confidence they need when working with a financial services representative.

After serving for two United States Congressmen, I currently volunteer my time to serve Contra Costa and Alameda County to expand community outreach services to our youth and underserved cities. Along working with the MassMutual Family I advise a Non-Profit organization in New York that merges systems thinking, psychology and economics to improve the ethical functioning of organizations.

Hello everyone so a little about us is that we use to be a Thai restaurant (savanh) but now changed to Jun’s island fusion restaurant and the reason behind that is that if you really look at the demographics within a 10-15 miles radius there’s a Thai restaurant everywhere but Filipino there’s none. So we know that some dishes filipino’s have are very strong and Pungent so that’s why we wanted to fusion it out and make the flavors and bit more settle for everyone to enjoy.
