About Me

This is my 13th year as a math teacher and 5th year at Apple Valley High School. I have lived in Apple Valley since 2013 and it is an honor teaching in the district where my kids are growing up. I have taught AP Calculus AB, Probability and Statistics, Math 3, and Math 1. It has been my pleasure to have served as a mentor teacher, a co-administrator for summer school, a reflective coach for 3 high school math teachers, as well as as a site rep. for the Apple Valley Unified Teachers' Association.

  I am married and have 3 children, enjoy playing chess, am an avid blood donor (49 pints/5+ gallons so far), volunteer weekly at a local church, enjoy dirt bike riding with my son, and enjoy hiking. Below are some pictures of my family and some great memories of mine.

My contributions to education included training and coaching teachers, developing curriculum and assessments, developing and implementing new state and local initiatives, being a Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP) point-person, and being a co-founder of a chess group. During my role as an instructional coach, I was recognized with a region-wide award for being a positive, inspirational, and supportive leader.  I am fully authorized to teach mathematics up to calculus, have a B.A. in philosophy with a minor in mathematics, as well as an M.A. in educational administration, from CSUSB.
