I graduated from Gonzaga University with a degree in political science. After working in a boy’s home in Tecate, Mexico for several months, I decided to become a teacher. I earned my teaching credential at California State University, and my master’s degree from City University. I love teaching the upper grades and have been doing it for over 20 years. When not teaching, I am an avid golfer and also enjoy traveling and spending time with my wife, Diane, and our daughters, Rachel and Maddy.
