Like many Americans today, Jim Dantona has suffered personal and professional hardship but has fought his way back with grit and determination.
He is an independent small businessman with experience and leadership as a legislative and governmental consultant, community leader and a youth and charity advocate.
He has worked with Democratic and Republican leadership at the local, state and national levels and consulted for two U.S. Presidents.
While a single father raising three children in Ventura County, he founded Baseballers Against Drugs, an award-winning non-profit organization that educates children across the country about the dangers of drugs and gangs and the value of education, and was honored by the FBI for doing so.
