I am a father of 5 wonderful children. My wife & I have had the joy of watching all of them grow up through the Redlands USD. We have lived in Redlands for more than 20 years. I am a former Smiley Knight and Cope Eagle (back in the 80's). I became a teacher because I love to work with kids. Seeing the "lightbulbs" click on is what motivates me. The learning, the socializing, the giving back to the community is what drives me to be the best teacher I can be. I not only want my students to be educated, I want them to be compassionate, thoughtful, and productive citizens of our community. I encourage them to dream big and want more out of life. They are the future!
