Once settled there he and his family would do anything for work which added to his tremendous work ethic. Long before becoming a Tualatin City Councilor Octavio worked in agriculture; cleared earthquake debris; helped his dad with odd jobs; was in auto finance; banking; landscaping; self-employed; and was employed by an electric firm amongst other careers. But, by his own admission, his toughest job ever was being a stay at home dad. Join Sandra Lafky Carlson in this charming oral history of a real down-to-earth guy.
