I was born and raised in Tulare.  I attended Tulare Western High School, College of the Sequoias and Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo.  Upon graduation from Cal Poly I attended Chapman University and Fresno State to receive my Masters and Administrative Credential.

I am married and have two children, who both graduated from Sundale School.

My teaching career started here at Sundale in 1994.  I became Vice Prinicpal in 2005 and Principal in 2007.  I have been fortunate to continue my career here.
