I've been teaching Spanish now for 26 years at the high schools level, 23 at the junior college and just over 11 at BYUI online.  I absolutely love what I do!  My wife, Jill, and I have 4 children, Joshua, 24, Allison, 22, Natalie 19, and Kira 15.  We were married on August 13th, 1993.  Click here to see pictures of our family.
    I spent 2 years in Argentina as a missionary for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. 

    I received my BA in Spanish Translation in April, 1993 from Brigham Young University, and my MA in Spanish from
California State University, Sacramento in May, 1998.  I'm currently working on my doctorate in Online Learning.

    I teach advanced Spanish at Bear River High School in Grass Valley, and evening Spanish courses at
Folsom Lake Community College in Folsom and online Spanish at BYU Idaho.

    I also worked at Comedy Sportz improvisational theatre.  Its like the show "Who's line is it anyway?" only much, much better!!

    I enjoy watching hockey (Go Sharks!) and playing volleyball, cooking and reading (especially P. G. Wodehouse, Rex Stout & other  mysteries).  I am originally from a small town to the west of San José called Saratoga.  I graduated from Prospect High School in 1986.
