Cindi Sherrod

Background:

Self-employed since the early 1990's, Cindi and her husband operated the Michelin North America distribution center in Reno Nevada employing seventy five people and handling over 1,000,000 pounds of tires per day. She currently is employed by Pine Grove and Associates, a court-appointed Receiver.

Cindi has been a mentor to several young people throughout the years. She believes that every person's mind should be challenged throughout his life, every person's imagination should be provoked as often as possible by the great works of imagination and that every person should push toward the limits of his intellectual powers. She believes that the John Adams Academy will help students to develop this type of attitude toward their education.

An active volunteer in her community, Cindi has donated her time to the Placer County Children's Receiving Home, Friends of Placer County SPCA and numerous other charities. Cindi has lived in the Sacramento area since 1982 and makes her home in Newcastle. Cindi has one grown daughter and three young grandsons.
