I am now in my 14th year at
Petaluma High and 23rd year in
education. I love teaching at
Petaluma High School and plan to
remain here teaching math until I
retire.

I earned my BA in Political
Science/Business at UCLA, my
mathematics teaching credential
at Cal State Hayward, and my MA
in Education at Sonoma State
University. This is my 21st year
of teaching mathematics, and I
have previously taught math at
Logan High School in Union City
and at Kenilworth Junior High in
Petaluma. I have also worked as
the District Technology
Coordinator for Petaluma City
Schools and Assistant Principal
at Petaluma High. I also currently
work as a new teacher trainer for
BTSA at the Sonoma County Office of Education.

I live in Petaluma with my wife,
Eden, and we have two sons, Kevin
and Ryan. My birthday is August
28. My hobbies include traveling
to foreign lands, reading, playing
tennis and cards, solving Sudoku
and KenKen puzzles, and watching
sports. I am an avid Raiders, SF
Giants, Warriors, and A's fan.
(Aside: please note the 49ers are
not on my list of favorite teams).

My favorite quote is:
"Far better it is to dare mighty
things, to win glorious triumphs,
even though checkered by
failure... than to rank with
those poor spirits who neither
enjoy nor suffer much, because
they live in a gray twilight that
knows not victory nor defeat"
by Theodore Roosevelt.
