My degrees are in Fine Arts and high school Administration and Leadership. I am the proud father of 6 children who all attended Sandra Day O'Connor High over the past 16 years of teaching at OC. I teach ceramics art classes and enjoy working as the Head Tennis Coach for the boys tennis team. During the summer months I own and operate an outdoor business called Arizona Outdoor Experience which is a passion of mine to bring students back to the outdoors for week long adventure experiences! Education has been a lifelong endeavor to give all students a memorable and safe educational experience.
