I was born and raised in Sunnyvale, CA and attended Homestead HS. For as long as I can remember I have had a passion for Social Science and helping people. My love of academics and athletics helped mold me in my formative years and steered me into competitive athletics and a career as a teacher. Prior to beginning my career in education I received my degree from Villanova University where I majored in Education and was a three year starter on the football team. After college I played football professionally with the San Francisco 49ers and Scottish Claymores of NFL Europe. Once my athletic career concluded, I earned my Masters in Cross-Cultural Education and began my career in the classroom. Over the last 20 years, I have taught AP Euro, AP World History, AP Econ(Micro/Macro), AP Psych, Econ, Gov’t, Geography, US, World, English 9, Algebra, Computers, Health, AVID II/III, Empowerment, and African American Studies. 

I'm passionate about serving others and helping my students develop connections to the campus and the curriculum. I'm excited to be a part of the staff at West Park and my family is excited to be a part of the West Park Community.

I am humbled and honored to be a Panther!

​In addition to teaching I am also the head football coach here at West Park. I'm excited to share what I have learned with West Park Students and Athletes helping them maximize their potential on and off the field. 

My Purpose Statement:

I lead to develop people of character. Creating community, facilitating growth, respect for others while partnering with students on their path towards self actualization.
