John Noguez (born Juan Renaldo Rodriguez on November 29, 1964) is a Mexican American politician and a former Los Angeles County Assessor, currently under indictment on corruption charges relating to his term.
Noguez was born on November 29, 1964 at the Kaiser Permanente hospital in Hollywood, California, to Jesus Rodriguez and Carmen Anaya, immigrants from Mexico. His father Jesus is from Puerto Vallarta, Jalisco while his mother is from Michoacán.
Although his birth name is Juan Renaldo Rodriguez, he uses a number of aliases including Juan R. Noguez, John R. Noguez, and Juan Reynaldo Rodriguez Noguez. The surname Noguez reportedly comes from his mother, whose full name is Maria Carmen Anaya-Noguez. In traditional Spanish naming customs, the maternal surname follows the paternal surname, often hyphenated in Anglophone countries.
For the first 6 years of his life, Noguez was raised in Michoacan, Mexico. Noguez spent the rest of his formative years in Boyle Heights and attended Roosevelt High School. He went on to study at the California State University, Los Angeles' School of Finance, concentrating on real estate studies. However, Noguez dropped out of the university, 3 classes shy of a bachelor's degree. He holds an Advanced Appraiser Certificate from the California State Board of Equalization.
In 1985, he joined the Los Angeles County Assessor’s Office as a student worker, eventually becoming an Appraiser Specialist for major properties.
