About Me
Hmmm. So what am I all about anyway? I'll give you the SparkNotes* version. I was born and raised in California and am a proud graduate of Cal-Poly @ San Luis Obispo. I am a founding staff member at Canyon Crest Academy and have enjoyed every year at this amazing place. I am so incredibly proud of how we've innovated and grown as a school. CCA is the school I wish I'd attended when I was a kid, and coming to work every day is something I don't take for granted. Having come from another great place, Earl Warren Middle School many moons ago, I feel very fortunate to have worked at two such outstanding schools. When I'm not teaching English, Journalism, College Application Seminar, or any number of other things along the way, I enjoy spending time with my family and playing with our 3-year old triplets, Dyllan, Finnley and Beckett.
Some of my passions include studying the history of baseball, traveling, and playing No Limit Texas Hold 'Em. Some of my favorites include: FILMS--Cinema Paradiso and The Godfather, Part II; FOOD--a carne asada burrito from any establishment that ends in apostrophe-S; BANDS--U2, Pearl Jam, the Black Keys and Marcy Playground; BOOKS--Siddhartha by Herman Hesse, anything by Malcolm Gladwell, and A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius by Dave Eggers.
Welcome to my class. I wish you a great year.
