John Ribera

I’m a California native, born in the bay area. I’ve lived in Santa Cruz County for 30 years and love our community. I’ve worked in the Marine Industry as a Captain since 1987 operating and managing many types of vessels and crews, sailing extensively throughout the Pacific region. Currently I still am Captain of a 70’sailboat doing charters on Monterey Bay as a fun job. I’m passionate about the ocean, protecting and sharing our incredible resource we have here in our backyard. I’m also a licensed plumbing contractor and have been involved in construction projects in Santa Cruz Co. since the early 80’s, and owned and operated my plumbing company “RB Plumbing” for nearly a decade. That has given me a wealth of knowledge and understanding of residential homes literally from the ground up.
