Dear San Diego

Michael Zucchetis one of those guys who listens more than he talks, and his calm and thoughtful demeanor has served him well at the poker table and at the negotiating table.

Ive never played poker with him, but I know him enough to know hes an understated, thoughtful guy, one of these guys who listens more than he talks, and Im guessing thats how he plays poker, said Dear San Diego co-host Tony Manolatos.

Zucchet oversees the City of San Diegos largest labor union as General Manager of the San Diego Municipal Employees Association.

In addition to his day job, Michael is one of San Diegos leading political minds, frequently called on for his strategic advice and recommendations. Hes also a fierce poker player, enjoying rare success in Vegas. Michael also serves as aSan Diego Port Commissioner.

Hes married with two kids and he and his family reside in Ocean Beach. Its his family life, he says, thats the priority and it may not have been if his political career did not take an unexpected turn.
