I first became a union member when I was 16 and have belong to three unions over the years ( SEIU, FAIR and UFCW). I've been a UFCW member for over 27 years.

I'm 47 years old and live in Santa Maria, CA. and am currently a Union Representative for UFCW Local 770 serving the membership in the Santa Barbara area. In addition to my regular rep duties I'm also a Vice President on our Executive Board, an Officer for the Tri-Counties Central Labor Council and on the Santa Barbara County Democratic Central Committee.

I like spending my weekends either watching or attending NASCAR races(Go 88) and have a goal to visit each NASCAR track in America.

Mike Vajen

My wife Shelly and I live in Pemberville, Ohio. I have 7 kids
including a step-daughter. In the summer we love to camp & ride our Harley and in the winter months we are in a bowling league.

Currently I am employed full-time with the Perrysburg Township Fire/EMS Department in Ohio as a firefighter/paramedic. I have been there going on 26 years, the first 5 as a volunteer and the remaining years full-time. I am a past treasurer of our union, IAFF Local 4170, and currently the President in my second term. In addition to PTFD, I also work part-time for the Pemberville-Freedom Fire Department where I am the coordinator for their Continuing Education Program.

In my spare time, I teach at Owens Community College located in Perrysburg Township. There I teach 2 EMT classes a year and have been teaching for about 15 years. I love everything that I do but most importantly, time with my wife and kids is the best.
