I love and am thankful to God. Grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area and came down to San Diego for college. Graduated from UCSD after studying International Studies and Psychology. Served in the Peace Corps in Jordan working with youth and teaching English. Came back to San Diego and went to SDSU for my teaching credential and taught math at King Chavez in Logan Heights. Transferred to High Tech High and am grateful to be working here. I live in Chula Vista with my wife, who is also a teacher, and two daughters. Outside of teaching, I enjoy running, exercising, reading, football, golf and eating.
