I was born in Glendale, California in 1970.  I grew up in the Inland Empire and graduated from Fontana High School.  After high school, I attended several colleges (Cal Poly Pomona, Chaffey College, Cal State San Bernardino, and National University).  In June, I earned my Master’s degree from Concordia University, Portland (online).  This will be my fifteenth year full-time teaching.  This is my ninth year at Back Bay High School.  I taught elementary school for the first six years in South Central Los Angeles and Wilmington before coming to Back Bay High School.

I am married with two children.  My wife teaches at Adams Elementary School in Costa Mesa.  My son, Ben, is five years old, and my daughter, Juliet is four years old.  This summer we got a new puppy.  He is a French Bulldog named named Meatball.  I love running, playing beach volleyball, curling (Olympic sport), and doing magic in my spare time.
