President and CEO of the Silicon Valley Leadership Group. He claims to be "one of Silicon Valley’s most distinguished business and community leaders." He is chubby hubby buddies with Rod Diridon (cursed a rail station by naming it for himself) in hoarding northern california transportation dollars for overly expensive, poorly planned projects (such as VTA light rail which is used by anti-transit folks as the poster-child for slow, inefficient light rail and why no more rail should be built). Tthe Diridon/Guardino view of the universe is the Milky Way Galaxy with the word "San Jose" in the center of the spirals.
