Education

I grew up in Hayward.  After high school I attended CSU Hayward (Now Eastbay).  There I earned my BS in Mathematics.  The following year I earned my California Teachers Credential.  A few years later I completed my MS in Mathematics.

Experience

My first seven years I taught at Tennyson High School in Hayward.  The next thirteen years I taught at Amador Valley High School in Pleasanton.  Since 2007 I have been teaching at Las Positas.  In addition, I taught as a graduate student for a year at CSU Hayward.  I have taught high school summer school classes.  For a little over three years I was a part of the SMASH academy through the Level Playing Field Institute and taught summer classes and did curriculum development.  I have also done tutoring in small groups and privately.  Starting in 2018, I became a part of the MDTP workgroup which works to create assessments designed to measure students' readiness for various math classes.

Personal

My wife and I have two children who we raise along with our two dogs.  Besides spending time with my family and teaching math, I really enjoy sports. Recently my wife got me into running 5 and 10k's.
