This is my 16th year working with learners in the school setting. I have been employed in a diverse array of schools, from elite parochial schools and inner-city, small charter schools, to large public schools. I am a social studies teacher by training and education, with a BS in Public Policy from USC, and MA in Secondary Education from LMU. I am also a mentor teacher who collaborates with the Los Angeles County Office of Education (LACOE) and assists other teachers in their attempts to earn their proper credentials. I have a wife and two children, as well as many dogs, cats, and aquatic animals. I am one lizard shy of being the subject of an Animal Planet documentary.
