Armando Valerio was born and raised in Stockton. He attended local schools and graduated from San Joaquin Delta College in 1986 with his AA degree in Developmental Education. After Delta, Armando perused his education at California State University Sacramento, eventually earning a Bachelors of Science degree in Physical Education in 1991.

Armando attended the University of the Pacific for his advanced degrees, earning his Master’s in Physical Therapy in 1995, and in 2003, a Clinical Doctorate in Physical Therapy. Still a Stockton resident, Armando is employed by San Joaquin County as a Program Manager.

In his spare time, Armando enjoys spending time with his niece, reading, yard work and listening to good music.

Armando Valerio says, “My goal in joining the Citizens Oversight Committee is to give back to Delta College for helping me decide on career pathway. I want to encourage students to continue on with higher education. I’m grateful for being given the opportunity to be part of this committee.”
