Hi everyone! I recently moved to the San Diego area with my wife, Soraia, and our 10 year-old-dog, Jake. I am originally from Denver, CO where I taught 7th Grade Social Studies for the last 7 years. Before that, I attended the University of Colorado (Go Buffs!) where I received my bachelor’s degree in international business. After briefly venturing out into the business world and realizing it was not for me, I went back to school and got my master’s degree in Secondary Education. Having coached soccer throughout my adult life, I knew working with kids was something that I seemed to have a knack for and truly enjoyed so the transition made sense and I am super grateful that I decided to make the change! In my free time, I enjoy playing/watching really any and all sports, reading, hiking, trying new restaurants, and going to the beach. I am super excited to be apart of the HTH team and look forward to engaging in meaningful learning with my students!
