having lived and worked in both Bakersfield and the Antelope Valley,”
said Fuller. “I share the values of the Ranch and it’s vision. Tejon
Ranch is a rare treasure in California. I look forward to joining with
other board members to guide the Company as it unlocks that treasure for
the benefit of the community, California, and Tejon stockholders.”
