From Punjab to Fowler.
Gurjant arrived from India in 1978, a twelve-year-old learning a new country. Nobody handed him anything — he earned it, the way Fowler does.
At nineteen he joined the United States Postal Service. While working overtime to support his family, he earned his Bachelor of Science in Business Administration and Finance from Fresno State in 1993 — mail floor by day, classes by night.
Over 37½ years he rose to Postmaster of Pleasanton: 225 employees, a $15 million annual budget, and in 2012 the top-rated post office in the entire Bay-Valley District. He’ll tell you it was the best job he ever had — because it was public service.
Retirement brought him back to the Valley, to family and farming. The service never stopped. Now he’s asking to serve you.
