Joe says that he dreamt of
being a DJ since early childhood, when he and friend would pretend that they had their own radio show.

He and his “high school sweetheart”, Marge, have been married for 44 years and have two children: Johnny (28) and Jenna (26).
You may also recognize Joe from performing in the Shady Rest Band which he and Cheryl Rebottaro created in 2016.
Some of Joe’s hobbies include mountain biking, golfing, do-it-yourself projects, and everything music including guitar building and repair as well as recording music in his home studio.
In addition, Joe volunteers regularly for the Scotts Valley Police Department and San Agustin Parish.
Cody Jarvis, an alumni of Scotts Valley High School’s Class of 2023, serves as the Student Trustee for Cabrillo College and is the Treasurer for Region IV of the Student Senate for California Community Colleges.

Take the 2024 Business Survey
The Scotts Valley Economic Development Committee (formerly the Economic Recovery Task Force) is a collaboration between the Chamber of Commerce and the City of Scotts Valley.
During the Pandemic and the CZU Fires, this Committee rose to meet those challenges, providing vital assistance and information, including signage, reopening kits, grant & loan assistance, as well as informational webinars.
These efforts helped several businesses survive those difficult times, and the committee was even recognized as Organization of the Year for its efforts.
Now, the committee is looking at the road ahead and wants to continue making a tangible difference in helping our local businesses.
To that end, the committee wants to “take the temperature” of the current business climate, and for this they need your help!
If you are a business owner, please take a few minutes to fill out the survey which can be found at scottsvalleychamber.com.
It is the Committee’s hope that the information gathered in this survey will serve as “roadmap” in the year to come as the Committee sets its future goals and continues to meet the needs of our local businesses.
As the youngest Chamber Ambassador in Scotts Valley’s history, Student Trustee Jarvis brings a fresh perspective and unwavering dedication to his community.
He has been a vital part of the paid staff team for the Art,
