I am originally from the beautiful island of Guam (Where Amerca's Day Begins).  I have been married for 26 years and have six children Kalea, Kai, Keahi, Kanoa, Kamalei and Keliana.  I have been teaching and coaching since 1998.  I have taught and coached at every level and I have been a part of this community since 2003 but beginning my 8th year at Tejeda.

I graduated in 1997 from Westmar University in Le Mars, IA, with a triple major in Bio, Chem, and Env. Sci. and a minor in Physics.  I played on a football scholarship and this is also where I also met my wife who was a cheerleader there.  I entered The University of Osteopathic Medicine in Des Moines, IA, in 1997, but realized that becoming a doctor was not what I needed to do.  After a stint in GeoTechnical Engineering, I fell into teaching and coaching and I have been doing this full-time since 1999, beginning in Moorpark, CA , with stints at Moorpark College, California Lutheran, UCLA, Fresno State and Trinity University. I earned my M.Ed. in Curriculum and Instruction from UTSA.

This is my community and have lived in the Tejeda community for 21 years.  All my kids have all gone through Roan Forest, Tejeda and Johnson.   My wife is a teacher at Johnson.  This is our community and what to work with each of you to make it the best community.
