Serve another one of our Disability Access coordinate ors working with kevin generous jen son. Hes been with us for 10 years. He says its as long as hes been anywhere. Long before john paul came to mod he had an increased mobility with access and he was one of the people who developed the standards for the accessibility guidelines and this goes back to 1990s. Over the years, california code process was advancing, he was also serving with the abandoning banding commission.
