I feel grateful and ready to be a part of this new school community. I have worked with children and students in many different capacities for more than 25 years. I have a degree in psychology from California State University, Fullerton, and also earned a multiple subjects teaching credential from California State University, Chico. I have studied communication design, web design, digital graphics, and special education, as well. My last job position was with the Grass Valley School District, which is in a small mountain community in Northern California. I fixed the district technology and managed student software.  I also hosted students in my computer lab at Bell Hill Academy, a K-4 dual immersion school. My wife and I moved to Colorado to be closer to our our daughter and our two young grandchildren. We have been happily together for 35 years, married 30.  I had lived in CA all my life, having lived in the southern, central, and northern parts of the state; by the ocean and in the mountains. I am finding Colorado to be welcoming and beautiful. I am looking forward to exploring, recreation, and discovery.
