I am a full time mariachi educator for the Monaco Middle School Mariachi program, Mariachi Los Gavilanes de Monaco Middle School, in Las Vegas, Nevada.

In a few short years, our mariachi student enrollment at Monaco Middle School has skyrocketed from 99 students to over 515 mariachi students. Mariachi Los Gavilanes has also represented the Clark County School District with performances in Arizona, California, Nevada, New Mexico, and Texas.

I also currently serve as the Task Force Chair for all Secondary Mariachi Programs in the Clark County School District. I help oversee all middle school and high school mariachi programs for the Clark County School District in Las Vegas, NV.

I am also a co-author of the ¡Simplemente Mariachi! Method Series published by Northeastern Music Publications.
