This is my seventh year teaching Social Studies at Ronald Reagan High School where I have taught AP US History each year.  Before accepting my position here at Reagan I served in the United States Air Force.  My service took me from Texas, to California and ultimately Wyoming.  Serving as an ICBM Launch Officer I was responsible for daily command and control, operation, security, maintenance and other various activities of the nation's Intercontinental Ballistic Missile forces.  These nuclear forces provide the ultimate backstop of the nation's defense.  Upon separation from the military I lived and worked in New York City on Manhattan before, ultimately, returning to Texas.

I earned my B.A. in History from Baylor University in 2003.  I earned my M.A. in History from UTSA in 2013.
