About John Gorena

Thank you for taking time to visit my website where I can share with you why I want to be your Lewisville City Council Member, Place 1, as well as, keep you updated on the progress of my campaign and happenings in the City of Lewisville.

My wife, Maria & I have been married for 26 years, and we have raised two children in Lewisville. Both have graduated from Lewisville High School and the University of North Texas. We love living in Lewisville and are proud to call it home.

I am also a graduate of the University of North Texas with a degree in Emergency Administration and Planning (and 15 hours of graduate level classes for public administration).

I was employed with Texas Instruments as a Project Designer from 1982 – 1993. After volunteering as a firefighter (1987 - 1993), I was led to follow my ambition of being a Firefighter Paramedic for the City of Coppell, which I did from 1993 - 2000. I also worked part-time in Carrollton on the Fire Chief’s staff in Emergency Management (1996 to 1999) which started as an intern but became a part-time employee for 2 more years.  I had started a part-time computer repair business in 1982 while working for Texas Instruments called JMG Enterprises, and it began to demand my time full-time in 2000. It has been a very successful business and continues to grow.

I have had the honor of helping my community in several ways including: volunteering for the Lewisville Volunteer Fire Department (1987 - 1993), the Boy Scouts, along with my son, John, from (1989-2006), as well as, lending a hand with many of the City’s events such as the Christmas Stroll, Summer Blast, Western Days, Sponsor of The Sounds of Lewisville, member of Old Town Business Association, member of The Lewisville Chamber of Commerce (since 2000), Lewisville Citizens Police Academy Alumni Association and church activities.

If I am fortunate enough to be elected to serve as a member of your City Council, I will consider it a great privilege and honor.  I will devote myself to looking out for our city.  It is my hope that you will share my excitement and optimism for the future of Lewisville.  Please join me and get involved in the community.  Lewisville has a great history and amazing future.  It is a fantastic place to live, work and raise a family.

Please see the Q & A section or visit My Blog to learn about my views on subjects.

Thank You,

John D. Gorena, Candidate for Lewisville City Council Place 1
