First and foremost, I LOVE teaching! I have been teaching for 11 years now and really enjoy the interaction with students. I have mostly taught Mathematics and general science courses, but my favorite subject matter is Physics. I previously was a Mechanical Engineer, and I enjoyed solving problems untilizing the tools of Mathematics and Physics. I taught Physics and Mathematics at High Tech High International in it's inaugural year (2004-2005).
Starting in 2005-2006 school I year, I helped to open High Tech High Media Arts, where I was the Director. After two years, I missed the classroom so much that I considered going back to the classroom. The opening of High Tech High Chula Vista ("Environmental") was the opportunity I was looking for! I teach 9th grade Physics and Mathematics and will once again help build another wonderful school.
I have two children, Sophia (8 years old) and Diego (4 years old) who keep me quite busy! They both are wonderful kids and I really enjoy "pretending" with them (I really love the imagination of those years!). Here are some pictures!
See me when I was a baby and some "old school" pictures of my family!
My wonderful wife, Jill, has been incredibly supportive of my career switch from Engineer to Teacher to Director and back to Teacher. She is incredibly smart and is a great person whom appreciates my many days of "teacher moments"...
