Chief Executive Officer
Chief Financial Officer
Hydraflow
Graziadio Alumna - BSM & PKE

Bio

"I am most passionate about continuing the legacy of my father who started Hydraflow in 1961. I would like Hydraflow to remain a family- owned business for generations to come. I wrote about this passion for my capstone project during my PKE program at Pepperdine. It takes a lot of strategic planning that includes succession planning for future generations, managing family relationships, maintaining the founder’s vision, preserving the culture, and getting the buy-in from all employees. I feel that my unique skills of carrying Hydraflow on as a family business contribute to the Grazadillo Board through one of its centers—the Center for Family Business."

Chairman, Graziadio Board
Attorney at Law
Calvillo & Meyer, LLP

Bio

"I am honored to serve as the Chair of the Graziadio Board and honor my father-in-law's legacy to continue his mission. The most rewarding aspect of my life is my family and the opportunity to have a "second father," George Graziadio, after losing my father at the age of twelve. Knowing "George" for forty years and having him in my life has truly been a blessing, and sharing my stories about him is a great joy. George Graziadio often said, "If better is possible, then good is not enough." Guided by his words, we keep moving forward to equip our students to become the purpose-driven leaders, instilling an expectancy of excellence."
