Meet Robin Sukow

A father, grandfather, and servant leader in our community


Robin and his wife Joanne raised two sons in the Pajaro Valley Unified School District. As a proud grandfather of three, he's alarmed by the declining quality of education in California — and believes it's time to return to basics.

For over 40 years, Robin has led mission work in Mexico: teaching families to build homes, growing food with hydroponics, and providing food, clothing, and eyeglasses to those in need. A successful general contractor and small business owner, he brings practical experience and fiscal responsibility to the school board table.

Roots Run Deep

Robin's first construction job — his father's real estate office at the summit of Hwy 17, built in 1967. It still stands today.

A family tradition of hard work and hands-on service, carried forward through generations.

Servant Leadership
