This is my 13th year teaching, 5th at Paloma Valley High School. I have a bachelor's degree in TV and Broadcast Journalism with a minor in Economics, as well as my single subject math teaching credential from Chapman University and a masters in Educational Administration from National University. 

I have a passion for people, working hard to help them be successful. As a teacher, I am blessed with the opportunity to help hundreds of kids each year BE SUCCESSFUL and HAVE FUN throughout the process. I am obsessed with my family, sports, and all things Disney. I married my beautiful wife, Brittany, 12 years ago, and have two daughters (Sadie, 8.5 and Ellasyn, 7) and two sons (Benjamin, 4 and Beckett 1). In my free time, you would see me playing games with my girls, wrestling with the boys, playing with my dogs, reading my Bible or other books of interest, watching Netflix and Disney+, or hanging out with my bride.

This year, I'm fortunate to teach the following courses:

Geometry (2nd, 3rd Periods)

Statistical Reasoning in Sports (1st, 4th, 5th Periods)

AVID 9 (6th, 7th Periods)
