Borean, a resident of Calaveras County since 1965, refers to himself as a woodsman, desiring at a young age to be a ranger. By 17 he was volunteering as a fire fighter in Arnold and went on to be a seasonal CalFire firefighter. Though he earned a Bachelor's degree in Forest Resources, the die had been cast. However, he did manage to work for a few years in a forest service related job before the recession hit then quickly found his way home to firefighting and has been there ever since.
His desire to become a Supervisor stems from his feeling that Calaveras County is perceived as a place that is hostile to growth and business. "Whether its perceived or real, either way, its hurts the local economy."
