This will be my 27th year teaching in America's public schools, 21th at PLHS and 17th teaching AP Lit. I was also our Head Varsity Baseball coach from 2005-2012. After joining TFA (Teach For America) in 1998 and teaching in Houston for 4 years I moved to San Diego and taught at Morse High. While at PL, I have also taught 9th and 10th grade English, helped found our currently defunct Writer's Workshop program and coached 9th grade girls' volleyball for five years. I love music and travel, reading and art, contemporary fiction and the Chicago Cubs. My wife and I have been happily married for 19 years and have two daughters aged 15 and 12. We have 2 kitty cats and a 15 year old rescue dog, Buddy. I love to read and write and run our AP and Am. LIT (Leaders in Training) class with energy and enthusiasm with the goal of ensuring it is a worthwhile and memorable experience for each of you.
