Hello Dana Families
Originally a Northern California Bay Area native, I made San Diego my permanent home when I attended UCSD in the 80's. I majored in Psychology and minored in Science, as well as completing three years of an electrical engineering major. I am proud to be a teacher and grateful to work with the most dedicated professionals and fun people who are also crazy enough to do this for a living.
In 2004 I began my teaching career and have been with San Diego Unified ever since. I am credentialed in Science Single Subject, K-6 Multiple Subjects, Industrial and Technical Education, and I earned a Master's in Education. I have taught 2nd grade, and 4th through 8th grades!
The bottom line is that I love to teach and continually learn about science. Through science I view the world with passion, wonder, and clarity. My goal is to nurture students' natural curiosity and teach them to explore through inquiry. Hands on, minds on. I want to get them to make connections, create solutions, and to take risks. Think scientifically about everything!
I couldn't be here doing all this without the love and support of my wife, Maria. She is a pharmacist at Sharp Memorial Hospital and treats patients in the emergency department. Now she also teaches at UCSD School of Pharmacy. Our boys are Miles (27) who is an architect, and Garrett (22) is an actor with a degree in Theater from USC. Miles and Lindsay, another architect, are recently engaged to be married next year! Our 4-yr-old cats, Mango and Pico, round out the family.
Final note: This is my 22nd year teaching and it is my last! I have been honored to meet thousands of students over the years and hopefully inspire them to become lifelong learners.
