My father, Fred, is the most upstanding man I know. He cares deeply about the Santa Clarita community and COC. I have had the opportunity to accompany my Dad to countless charitable endeavors of his in the past 24 years. It was one of the most salient and impactful aspects of my childhood. He even encouraged my brother, Alex, and I to take on our own projects in high school--running a blood drive and organizing packages to send to our service members, respectively. My Dad has dedicated his career in service of others. He will do a wonderful job on the COC Board of Trustees!

Katie Arnold

I came to know Fred at a very crucial point in my career at COC when I was pondering about transitioning from teaching to administration. Fred was my mentor during the Chamber of Commerce Leadership Academy program. He showed me the importance of networking and advocacy. He helped me see the important role faculty and the college play in shaping our city’s economic directions. He made me feel proud of what I do as a COC faculty at that time, and as an administrator afterwards. I put my trust in Fred to lead COC forward.
