    I have taught at both the high school and college level.  I enjoy teaching both although they are quite different.  I'm currently teaching at Mt. San Jacinto Community College in the Health Sciences department along with my full-time teaching job at Vista Murrieta High. Over the years, I have had many students in both high school and college and I really like to see their maturity and growth from one level to the next.

    Hobbies:
    If you are in my class, you know my hobbies.  My family is my priority, so I spend a lot of time with them hiking, camping, and of course, Raider games.  I'm a die-hard Raider fan.  I've been following the team for as long as I can remember.  Attended my first Raider game when they were playing in LA and I was in H.S.  I also love to ride my Harley either to work or on the weekends.  I love car shows,  lowrider shows, and anything that has to do with loud engines and wheels.  My musical taste is weird.  My favorite is classic rock, punk, rockabilly or alternative, but I also listen to oldies, hip-hop, and whatever else is interesting.  Go Raiders!
