the county, might have an even more sparkling

he Bank – Mexican Restaurant & Bar was “a dream come true” for Craig Puma, President
of CNC Puma Corporation. Starting out in the finance business for 3 years back in mid
80’s, Craig learned a lot about numbers and the handling of money, but it was being in
sales for 20+ years that taught him the simple philosophy of The Bank… “Work hard to give every
customer the best experience possible, every time! I’d never even worked in a restaurant before”,
Craig remarked. “But I’ve eaten out a lot and I know what people want: Tasty food, great service and
a comfortable and fun atmosphere. And that’s the 3 areas we focus on every day for every customer”.
Funny enough, the “dream” was born from a bad economy and lay-offs. On September 10, 2001,
Craig was laid off from a job due to the company going through some major cut-backs and as a
newer sales manager, he was one of the first selected. “When “9/11” hit the next day, no one was
hiring.” So rather than collect unemployment, Puma started his own company selling shutters and
blinds. “It was my first business and it was a raving success, but it was never anything I was really
into. It just paid the bills.” After 2 years, Puma walked away from that company and went back to
work in corporate sales. Over the next 3 years he would go through 2 more lay-offs due to corporate
Craig Puma restructuring. In 2006 he decided enough was enough. Having his own business was the path he
would take. And while sitting in a car wash, reading “Homes and Land” magazine, he saw the ad for
a little Mexican restaurant for sale in the center of Old Town Temecula.
The owners had left the restaurant in the hands of their two children. Both had said they were a
bit worn out from the restaurant industry. They had been either helping mom and dad or running
the restaurant for 29 years. And they were only in their mid 30’s”. Thinking the idea was a little too
crazy, coupled with the fact it was looking like it could be possible to make it happened, Puma was as scared as could be. But, the
daughter of the owner, Sandra Covarrubias, offered to stay for a year and one of the servers, Blanca Nguyen was an inspirational friend
who offered to help. Raul Romero, who had worked at The Bank for years previous, would head the kitchen. Puma talked his wife into
jumping on board and moving forward with the idea. “I worked another job for 3 years while running the restaurant, relying heavily
on my wonderful wife to be the top operational person at The Bank”. The plan has worked out perfectly. Being one of the best moves of
his life, the Puma’s have now opened their second restaurant, The Tilted Cactus, in Anza, Ca. Sandra is the Manager and Raul is head
chef. The Grand Opening is set for April 22-24.

an Atwood and his wife of 25 years, Katie, have been in the Temecula Valley since 1989.
They have lived here, worked here, and raised their two children here. Dan says he feels
like a “pioneer,” as he was one of the first to open a business, Toyota of Temecula Valley,
in the newly incorporated City of Temecula in 1991. “I am very excited to have been a part of
the growth of the area, and am excited about the growth and direction of our City today. It is a
great place to do business and raise a family.” Toyota of Temecula Valley, celebrating their 20th
Anniversary this Spring, is celebrating by giving back to the community. Part of the celebration is
a Car Giveaway Opportunity Drawing, which is raising funds for local high schools in Murrieta
and Temecula. Donations for the opportunity to win a Corolla Sport can be made at Toyotas4u.
com, and the winner will be announced at the Taste of Temecula Valley event on April 30, 2011.
100% of the donations will go local area high schools. Since 2001, Toyota has donated over $1
million to local charities and organizations and currently employs over 140 local area residents.
Beyond cars, Dan has also made a name for himself in the local wine world, with his Atwood
Syrah which is available at several local eateries and at his wine store, The Wine Company. The
Wine Company Wine Bar and Shop offers a unique, welcoming environment in which to sample
and enjoy many different wines, from Dan’s own Atwood Syrah - which is highly acclaimed - and

ig Fogg™ is a name that is recognized by almost everyone that has seen a college or NFL
football game over the past ten years. The founder, president and CEO of the Big Fogg Inc.
is Christopher Miehl. Big Fogg is acknowledged as a premier provider of climate control
systems. Its products are specifically designed to assure its clients that their outdoor events are
comfortable and protected from the heat or cold. They also provide solutions for high or low
temperature conditions for industrial facilities at both indoor and outdoor locations. To provide
for the various needs of their clients, Big Fogg designs, engineers, manufactures and installs a wide
range of its products. These products include misting fans, misting tents, misting trailers, inflatable
misters, high pressure restaurant & resort misting systems and heating benches.
In addition to college football and the NFL, Big Fogg’s list of prestigious clients also includes MLB,
the Olympics, the World Cup, NHL, the PGA and Motor Sports. Christopher said “Big Fogg
has been selected to provide climate control equipment for the athletes and performers at many
esteemed events. They include the sidelines of 10 Super Bowl games, 12 Pro Bowl games in Hawaii,
the World Cup Championship game between Brazil & Italy and behind the stage at Woodstock 99.
I take pride in knowing our equipment made these events more comfortable for the participants.” Christopher
However, the achievement that Christopher is most proud is his building Big Fogg by himself Miehl
from the ground up with no outside capital or partners. Out of his one-bedroom apartment in San
Clemente, he started BigFogg.com in 1999. Big Fogg was initially a website company that serviced
Christopher’s contacts in NCAA football and the NFL. Big Fogg is headquartered in Temecula,
CA with offices in Jacksonville, FL and soon in Austin, Texas. In 2010, Big Fogg was honored to be
awarded Business of the Year by both Temecula and Murrieta.
It has been a long and enjoyable journey for Christopher since receiving his MBA from San Diego State in 1985. He feels lucky and
proud to be a member of the community. He is also happy to be doing work that he truly loves. But then again, Christopher does
not consider it work, because he is having so much fun. He takes so much pleasure from the career that he invented that he has no
intention of ever retiring.

in the Temecula Valley. Aside from his medical expertise and forward-thinking innovation, a
distinctive part of Dr. LoBue’s success is the warmth and compassion each patient receives from
him and his board-certified staff. “My inspiration is restoring vision back to my patients,” Dr. LoBue
says. “Modern cataract surgery is a medical miracle with many people experiencing dramatic visual
improvement the day after surgery. Newer technology has helped this surgery to become a relatively
fast, simple, and painless procedure. Dr. LoBue specializes in comprehensive ophthalmology and
cataract surgery, offering premier lens implants.
Dr. LoBue has always been interested in finding ways to improve the quality of life for his patients.
He is excited to introduce a cutting edge product into his practice, Ocular Support Solution, OS2,
which was developed by Dr. LoBue, NASA and the biochemists of AmeriSciences to meet the
Thomas LoBue, needs of all eye patients—including those with macular degeneration, dry eye, computer fatigue
syndrome, diabetic retinopathy and glaucoma. “My father is legally blind from the eye disease
M.D. macular degeneration. Due to this tragedy, I helped to develop a nutritional supplement called OS2
to fight this terrible disease.” This past fall, Dr. LoBue announced the opening of the NVISION Laser
Eye Center. NVISION Laser Eye Center is the first all laser Lasik center in the Temecula Valley. Dr.
LoBue brought in Max Parikh, MD to serve as the medical director of the NVISION Laser Eye
Center. Dr. Parikh is a board certified ophthalmologist. He is also the official Lasik surgeon for the
San Diego Chargers. Each office location offers a full line of optometric services, along with a full-service hearing aid center and products
such as Latisse - an eyelash growth system. To anyone who has met him, Dr. LoBue is a true visionary who continues to diversify his
practice to help improve his patients’ quality of life. Dr. LoBue’s mission is to provide the best possible care to his patients in an atmosphere
of excellence, compassion, integrity and innovation. For office locations and additional information, visit www.LoBue2020Eyes.com

ith over 20 years in the finance industry, Tony LoPiccolo knows
exactly what he is talking about when he is talking banking. Tony
has been with First Citizens Bank in Murrieta since December
2010. As Vice President/Financial Services Manager, Tony’s primary role is
to attract new business to the bank and help to retain existing business, all
the while helping customers grow their business. First Citizens has over 380
offices nationwide and is one of the largest family-controlled financial services
institutions in the country and is one of the top 50 banking companies in the

Headquartered in Raleigh, N.C., the bank is a major subsidiary of First Citizens

LoPiccolo new accounts or taking great care of existing ones, he spends time with the
staff of the bank mentoring, training and coaching them to ensure that First
Citizens’ reputation of outstanding customer satisfaction remains intact, and
that their clientele is getting the absolute best possible service. Tony is also

ark Anselmo has been a resident of Temecula for over 18 years and has marveled at
the amazing growth of the community - not only in numbers, but also in character
and service. He has a wonderful wife, Kathy, and two incredible sons, Anthony and
Nicholas. Mark is a Financial Advisor by trade, but was called to the non-profit world after his
son, Nicholas, was diagnosed with Autism seven years ago. He and his wife formed Our Nicholas
Foundation initially to help fund the needs of special education teachers and therapists to
purchase the tools necessary to help those diagnosed with autism. After having five “Auction for
Autism” events and multiple other fundraisers including golf tournaments, their services and
goals have now expanded. The Foundation now organizes educational forums, social groups
for both children and parents, peer buddies within the schools, sports programs (i.e. “Kick with
Nick” soccer program) and more. Their support group network now exceeds 125 families in the
Temecula Valley that meet for play dates and social activities as well. They feel this is just the
tip of the iceberg since there are over 800 families dealing with the diagnosis of autism in the
Temecula and Murrieta areas alone and now 1 in 91 children are being diagnosed. ONF is 100%
volunteer-run and Mark says he cannot thank their dedicated Board, the ONF families and the Mark Anselmo
business community enough for their continued support. ONF was honored with the Temecula
Chamber’s 2010 Service Charitable Organization of the Year and Mark was also honored in 2008
as Temecula’s Citizen of the Year. Autism Speaks has also honored ONF with the Local Heroes
Award. For more information, visit their website at www.OurNicholasFoundation.org.
Mark is a Certified Financial Planner (CFP®) and owns a business in the Temecula Valley;
Anselmo Investment Management. Mark has been in the financial industry for over 20 years,
and specializes in corporate retirement planning and commercial insurance needs in addition to
providing individual client asset management. He takes great pride in owning an independent
financial advisory firm that is not tied to any one investment or insurance company. This allows
him to provide truly unbiased advice in all circumstances, but at the same time he has access to all
available resources for clients.

he date is December, 1996. A young Adam Bouvet is the first full-time employee of
the Mill restaurant in historic Old Town Murrieta, washing dishes and learning the
food service industry. Flash forward to 2011, and Adam is now part owner, alongside
founder Linda Westfall. In speaking with Adam, his love for this local landmark is evident. Also
clear is his dedication to and appreciation of his employees. With over 30 people working at the
restaurant, Adam could certainly spend all day commending each and every one of them - as a
matter of fact, he says that his entire staff is an extended family to each other. They work hard
and treat the business as their own, which gives Adam peace of mind when he is away that
the employees care as much about the Mill as he does. With the restaurant and his Real Estate
business, Adam stays hopping, and he’s not always able to be present at the Mill. He wants
to publicly acknowledge his kitchen staff for the great work they do. John Strange - with the
Mill for 10 years, who powers through the busy breakfast traffic every weekend and has not
missed a breakfast shift in over three years. Matt, Tony, Glenn, Brandon and Michael ... these
guys keep things running backstage, and Adam wishes to express his most sincere appreciation
to them, the behind-the-scenes dynamos that create the delicious meals that one anticipates
when visiting the Mill. Most of the Mill’s employees are referrals, family members, or long-term
customers - Adam doesn’t have to look for people to work there - they come to him. He says that
Adam Bouvet his amazing team gives the term “Family Restaurant” a whole new meaning. Adam especially
appreciates the fact that his employees all want to be at work - they enjoy their jobs and the
people they work with, evidenced by team “road trips” to various sporting events during the
year. This is also apparent to the customer - front-line employees are always smiling, helpful and
tend to remember your “usual.” The Mill is truly a gem in Murrieta, the city called “The Gem
of the Valley.”
The Mill is located at 24690 Washington Ave. in Historic Downtown Murrieta

ill Flegenheimer and Marco Flores are no strangers to the Real
Estate and property management fields. The two met while working
for a “big box” Real Estate firm in early 2010, and found they worked
well together and that both had a passion for not just their industry, but also
doing things the right way. They describe themselves as “two genuine guys
looking to work honestly and take care of their clients with integrity and
honor.” Making their clients’ interests their number one priority sets these
gentlemen apart in an industry that has taken a beating in the last several
years. Harveston Property Management offers a multitude of services,
including listing properties, managing them and tenant placement. As
they are both Real Estate agents, they can also assist investors with locating
rental properties and then manage them for the investor. Bill and Marco can Bill Flegenheimer
also direct distressed homeowners to resources available to them to help
resolve challenging situations. Marco is a certified Equator Platinum short

sale expert, and Bill is HAFA (Home Affordable Foreclosure Alternatives)
certified. The company focuses most on the Harveston community in
Temecula, but is capable of working with properties in any location.
Currently hanging their licenses with an independent agency in Murrieta,
they find themselves less restricted then when they were with the chain
agency, and able to work more within their ideals of “Customer First.”
Knowledgeable, motivated and “real,” this duo intends to change the face of
Real Estate and property management in the Valley.

aul R. Villamil, Assistant Branch Manager for AppleOne Employment in Temecula,
relocated from Orange County to the Temecula Valley in 2005. He actually started his
career with AppleOne in 1994 while finishing his senior year at the University of San
Diego, where he graduated with a Bachelor’s Degree in Business Administration with an emphasis
on marketing. It all began when he was looking for temporary work. “I walked into an AppleOne
office in 1993,” says Paul, “needing temp work while I was home for the summer.” Over 15
years later, Paul finished 2010 ranked #13 out of over 1800 employees nationwide in sales. He
attributes his success to the management style and culture of the organization. “AppleOne gives
its employees the tools they need to be successful,” says Paul. And successful he is. Some of the
largest employers in the Valley look to Paul and to AppleOne for their staffing needs, including
Pechanga, Professional Hospital Supply and International Rectifier, just to name a few. Paul was
the 2010 Chair for the local PIHRA (Professionals in Human Resources Association), and is
acting as Membership Chair in 2011. He also is looking forward to getting more involved in the
community to give back, with organizations such as Habitat for Humanity. Paul prides himself on
creating results and offering solutions to both his clients and his candidates. Many companies may
Paul Villamil not realize that AppleOne is MUCH MORE than just a “temp agency” - they also offer corporate
full-time search/headhunting services at all positions levels, from entry-level to executive. Paul
feels that making that “perfect match” is one of his strengths and welcomes the opportunity to find
that “perfect match” for other businesses in the Valley.

ustin Lawler and his partner Cody Fletcher own and operate The Creative Bar, a full-
service design, marketing and advertising firm specializing in company branding, print
and web design, as well as marketing and public relations.
Early in life, Justin remembers being told by a high school art teacher to find a career in
art, because she knew Justin would not be happy doing anything else. After working his way
in retail to a rather high-paying position at an early age, Justin realized she was absolutely
right. It was at that point Justin decided to go back to school to pursue his dream. Justin won
his first national graphic design award only one year out of college. Since then, Justin has
been on the fast track for success winning more than sixteen awards, both nationally and
internationally, for his design work spanning over his eleven year career. Justin and his team
have made a name for themselves in the advertising world, winning multiple national design
awards against such powerhouses like Coca-Cola and Tiffany & Co. Justin has also worked
with several local organizations throughout the years including the Temecula Valley Chamber
of Commerce and Temecula Valley Convention & Visitor’s Bureau.
Since starting The Creative Bar three years ago, Justin has firmly established himself as a
highly qualified and skilled brander and designer for clients like the City of Temecula, Monte
Justin Lawler de Oro Winery and the Temecula YMCA. Justin prides his company on being top-notch and
unlike any other agency out there. Working closely with their clients throughout the entire
process, The Creative Bar ensures that the marketing campaign is as effective as possible with
eye-catching and relevant graphics, strategic company branding, and they work to create
websites that are complementary to the business while representing and appealing to its target
audience. A one-stop-shop, Justin and The Creative Bar can do it all, and they are very good
at it. Justin is also very involved within the community, supporting the Boys & Girls Clubs of
Southwest County, the Temecula Special Games, and the Heart Association Walk.

s owner of Old Town Temecula’s Chopper Gallery since 2008, Kraig
Kavanagh has seen just about everything in the motorcycle world.
The Chopper Gallery has carved a niche for themselves to provide
gently used custom motorcycles, certified pre-owned Harley-Davidsons and
other heavyweight cruisers. Customers owning motorcycles that retain all
of, or most of their value enables them to trade up or down or laterally at any
time thus making it an enjoyable ownership experience. Kraig’s background
is in manufacturing and design. Chopper Gallery also offers a full service
department, and watch them grow - they are in the middle of an expansion.
Kraig’s transition into motorcycle sales and service is a natural one, as he

he was only 9 years old, a Honda 50cc street bike that he converted for trail use, and grew up riding the trails in what would become
Corona and down to Lake Elsinore before the existence of the 15 or the 91. The Chopper Gallery’s business model is to emphasize
customer service, customer service and more customer service. Kraig insists on developing and maintaining the personal connection
that he says is missing with many companies. This is obvious by their new business being almost 50% referrals. Kraig’s late father spent
a lifetime in sales, and once told Kraig that your customer is like the front wheel of your bike - all the pedaling in the world will get you
nowhere if it’s missing. “Say what you do, do what you say.”

not your typical buttoned-up attorney. An avid martial artist for over 30 years, Brad’s
main business focus is on the relationships he develops with his clients. After receiving
his Juris Doctorate degree from Whittier College School of Law in 1994, Brad took a position
as Director of HR and Legal Affairs with a large international security company, but quickly
found he wanted to practice “real” law. In 1995, he started practicing law full time and built
a successful firm in LA, but felt he had lost touch with the attorney-client relationship. So, he
moved to Temecula in 2003, intent on creating a practice that keeps things small and simple,
enabling him to interact directly with his clients. A “regular guy,” Brad is much happier with this
arrangement, and the fact that it works shows with his busy caseload. His focus in his practice
is business, family and personal injury law. Brad was also one of the pioneering attorneys in
mold litigation in the late 1990’s. Beside law, Brad’s passion is in martial arts. Currently, Brad
holds the position of Chief Inspector for the official sanctioning body of the State of California

to preserve the 8,400 acres of ancient oak woodlands, mystical
vernal pools and rare prairie grass meadows, as well as fund
research and education about the pristine paradise. And the
organization’s priority is on funding and operating an outdoor
educational outreach program for students, one which meets
California’s elementary science curriculum for third grade
standards. The organization currently works with 70 schools in
eight school districts.
“We want to inspire children to learn about and care for the
natural world,” said Ginger Greaves, executive director of SRPF.
“The kids come up here, and get to see, maybe for their very first
times, a place without houses and streets and grocery stores. They
see wildlife, and they learn about many of the hundreds of plants
and animals that live here—some of which are endangered. And
then they go home and tell their families all about it.

for the children at home because she did not work, whereas the

The appellate court reversed the trial court’s decision, finding
that the trial court’s reliance on the mother’s ability to stay
home, in contrast to the father’s need to work, “was improper
and constituted an abuse of discretion.” The law recognizes
that reliance upon the asserted superiority of a parent’s child

The approval meant that Galway Downs Equestrian Center,

first established in 1968, is not only included with the superstar
eventing sites in England and the east coast of the United States,
it is the very first equestrian facility on the West Coast to ever
receive the coveted status. But the change in ranking has been
a long time in coming,” said Kellerhouse, who began managing
the equestrian center in the late-1990s.
“We had been hosting CCI2** events since 1999, but we had
been hosting so many shows and increasing the difficulty levels
in the course all along,” he said, adding that the equestrian
“eventing” star ratings are assigned by levels of difficulty in
completing dressage, jumping and cross-country programs.
“So it just made sense to request that a 3*** be held here. I was
thrilled when the FEI gave the approval.”
According to Kellerhouse, some highly ranked riders and

horses who participate in the CCI3*** events often go on to
make it to the rarified level of the Olympic equestrian team.
Both elegant and dramatic, eventing is not for the faint of

heart for rider or horse, as either of them could sustain serious
injuries during competition. And for the spectator, this sport is
equally exciting to watch, since one single rail knocked down
during a jump can change the final standings dramatically.
In addition to the CCI3*** eventing competition in the

fall, Galway Downs Equestrian Center hosts another major
international equestrian event in March, as well as numerous
other competitions throughout the year. It is costly to put on
the equestrian events, so officials at the center are excited about
