  • Biography
     
    I have been teaching since 2004 and I love it. One of the best things that I bring to the classroom is a love and enthusiasm for teaching and students. In my spare time I enjoy reading fantasy and science fiction novels, practicing yoga, meditating and spending time with my family.  
     
    In 2006 I had the opportunity to volunteer teach in the Republic of the Marshall Islands. This experience overall
    caused me to realize the value of family, and afterwards I decided to move back to Arizona permanently. 
     
    In 2012 my wife and I were married and in 2015 my daughter was born, who has been a constant source of joy in our lives.
