I was born in Southern California, but raised in our Battle Born State's capital, Carson City. I went to Carson High School and then took my talents to Northwest Reno where I attended UNR. Because college was such a blast, it took me a combined 15 years to finish. A bachelors degree still wasn't satisfying enough, so I decided to go back to school and get my masters in elementary education from the University of Phoenix. I have been teaching for the last 4 years and getting ready to start my fifth year at Anderson ES. Every year I have about 20 eight-year-olds that I call my kids, but just five and a half months ago my wife and I had the pleasure of bringing our own son into the world. I am so excited to be a dad and I am looking forward to our adventures as a family. Oh by the way, did I mention we're Disney fanatics. Our son has already been twice in the womb and will experience his first time seeing the magic in November.
