Greetings! I am thrilled to be teaching for my 3rd year here an Noli. Education is an integral part of my world view. I believe the world opens up through education. After graduating high school, I honorably served in the United States Army. I have been teaching at different grade levels (9th grade-University level English) for the last 14 years. I currently hold an associate's degree from El Paso Community College, a Bachelor's in American Literature from the University of Texas at El Paso, a master's degree in English from California Baptist University, and am working on a doctorate in Educational Leadership at California State University-San Bernadino. I  am a proud father of 3 school aged daughters. In addition to a passion for literature, I greatly enjoy coaching high school sports and staying active. I am very happy to be part of the Noli team and to serve our students and the community!
