My name is Michael Mandel. I live in Cheviot Hills (on Bradbury Road) with my wife and two children (a son, age 16 and a

daughter, age 14). We have lived in Cheviot for 13 years and I have been on the Board for six years. My kids are both

alumni of Overland Avenue Elementary and currently attend Geffen Academy for high school. I am a labor and

employment attorney and my wife is an IT Project Manager for Sony. My primary interest in serving on the board is to

work with the Board and the community to address the safety of our neighborhood, as we have been the victim of one

home burglary and one aborted burglary.
