Born & raised a stone's throw south of the Ranchos across the San Joaquin River in Fresno.  Blessed to be married to my beautiful wife for 29 years, Rondy, with 2 adult married daughters, Rachel & Alyssa, with one grandson, Justice.  Graduated from Fresno State in 1999 with a degree in Natural Science & a Masters in 2012.  I have been teaching science for 23 years. If I'm not teaching I'm spending time with family and friends, in the mountains (Shaver) or beach (Pismo).  Hobbies include; gardening, hiking, biking and reading.  I love to read & learn about science, history, philosophy, religion and politics. This is my 2nd year at LHS and I love the community and the students.  Looking forward to a great year. GO HAWKS!!!!!
