I have been teaching Middle School math 
for Thirteen years. I have a  Bachelor's 
Degree in Business Management concentrating
in Human Resources  and a Master's Degree 
also in Business Management with two
concentrations one in Accounting and Finance, 
and the other in Operations Management.

I was a Quality manager for 20 years before
making the career change to help students
prepare for the work place.  I was older 
when I decided to go back to school and get
my college degrees.  It was the
best decision I have ever made.  

I am married with two children.  My wife, 
Zulema, was the Librarian at Shimatsu Elementary School.
She was the founding member of the school.
Many of my students are surprised to know this
and say I am nothing like my wife.  I still
don't know what they mean by that.



  

My mission is to create a challenging
yet comfortable learning environment 
for all students which encourages
them to accomplish things they considered
to hard to learn. I do this by promoting
life-long learning skills, common sense 
coupled with curiosity and pride of 
ownership.  Students will be able 
to use their newly acquired knowledge in 
real-life situations to become productive 
members of society.
