About Me
Professional Experience: B.A. in Law and Society at the University of California, Santa Barbara. Teaching Credential at Chapman University.
Personal: My wife and three boys (one puppy, 4 cats, 3 fish, 6 chickens, and two reptiles) live happily right here in Santa Ynez. When I am not watching or coaching the kids playing sports, I love going to the beach, playing golf, and fishing.
My Passion: As a teacher, I've always aspired to make a positive difference in the lives of my students. Great teachers inspire their student to do great things; and that has always been my goal. I believe the fundamental purpose of education is to prepare young people to think critically while at the same time prepare them to be valuable members of this society. Like Dewey, I want to teach my students not what to think, but how to think.
