I was born and raised on a small farm in Kentucky.  After high school graduation, I joined the military and served in the U.S. Army for 7 years.  I then attended the University of Texas at El Paso where I earned a Bachelor's Degree in Interdisciplinary Studies with a concentration in math and a Master's Degree in Educational Technology. 

I have been married for 23 years, and my wife and I have a daughter in Tenth grade and a son in Eigth grade.  We have been in San Antonio for eleven years now and love it--it is such a family friendly city. We enjoy doing things together such as fishing, trips to the many state parks, and of course, Sea World.

This year I will begin my 21st year teaching and ninth year at Reagan.  What I love about my career is making math easy for those who struggle with its concepts, seeing students grow cognitively, and getting to know my students.
