Biographical Snapshot

I came to Bethel in its second year of existence (1999). Prior to teaching, I worked for ten years in the computer software industry, and before that, for the YMCA of San Francisco. I was Executive Director of the Vallejo branch of the North Bay YMCA for three years.

If it were not for my years of experience as a team sports coach, I would probably never have realized how much I enjoy working with young people and facilitating their growth, their success, and their fulfillment of dreams. This spirit continues in my classes, where students focus on individual excellence, and are also part of a learning community. We learn to become 'team players' through friendly competition, collaborative projects and discovery of the skills we each possess. As athletes are rewarded for physical accomplishment on the field and the court, my students are acknowledged for academic achievement in the arena of the classroom as they prepare for the future.

When I'm not teaching:
I'm correcting papers . .
Or playing guitar in the church choir / with friends
Or swimming / working out at 24 Hour Fitness
Or cooking
Or reading (I hate TV-except for sports)
Or coaching my sons' athletics


Person I most admire:
Jaime Escalante, Los Angeles high school math teacher
from the movie Stand and Deliver, who's my personal inspiration as a teacher
