ANTIOCH, CA —On Friday, April 26, 2019, Frank Estigoy will follow a proud tradition dating back to a period older than the country itself. Although the style of shoes are different, Estigoy steps into shoes worn by Benjamin Franklin who served as Postmaster General before the Declaration of Independence was created.  

Estigoy will raise his right hand to take the official Oath of Office as the new Postmaster of Antioch at 10:00 a.m. at the Antioch Post Office, 2730 W. Tregallas Road, Antioch, CA 94509.

Estigoy began as a letter carrier in Orinda in 1988. A few years later, he joined the management ranks as a supervisor at the Fremont Post Office. He was the station manager of the Blossom Hill Post Office in San Jose prior to his selection as Postmaster.

Estigoy is a numbers guy, studying mathematics and statistics at Hayward and San Francisco State University; and he is steeped in the belief that learning never ends and that building strong relationships with people is what matters most.

As Postmaster of Antioch, Estigoy oversees 121 employees, 50 city routes, 26 rural routes with over 30,000 delivery points (addresses) to a population of more than 111,600.

Manager of Post Office Operations Cedric Brown will administer the official oath of office.

The Postal Service receives no tax dollars for operating expenses and relies on the sale of postage, products and services to fund its operations.
