I have been teaching Middle School math 
for eight 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, is a Librarian at Shimatsu Elementary. 
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.
