 I was born and raised in San Francisco.  I am the oldest of three (one  brother and one sister).  I enjoy listening to Disney songs.  Spend lots of time watching Disney+ with the "littles". With my leisure time I enjoy riding my bike, and playing candy crush.  Played professional baseball in (Mexico).  I commute at least two hours to work from where I live. i live with my wife, my 4 young children, 9 cats and 2 dogs.  

I was born in Los Angeles but I was raised in Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico until the age of 17. I am the second youngest of 24 kids. I have four children, all boys, aged 30, 20, 17, and 15 years of age. I enjoy exercising and spending time with my family. At Skyline college where I learned English, I also competed in cross country, wrestling, and track & field. I transferred to SFSU and competed in cross country and track and field. I was a member of team USA’s national wrestling team for two years where I was able to compete and also was fortunate enough to get the opportunity to travel all over the world. 

I was born and raised in San Francisco. I graduated from Burton & Sala Burton Academic High School. I then went to Morris Brown College & Georgia State University in Atlanta, GA. I have been teaching since the 4th grade, but officially 21 years. I love spending time with family, traveling, and helping my students prepare for life both physically & mentally. I am their wellness coach.

I love learning about physical health, mental health, and using these knowledge to apply to all areas of life: socially, academically, and professionally. Throughout my youth, I went through a healthy lifestyle change which develop my passion with health and fitness. I believe having a strong body will develop a strong mental mindset, which means anyone can accomplish their goals. I went to San Francisco State for my undergrad and teaching credentials.
