biographical information

I am finishing my fifth year teaching business and computer applications at Serra High School in San Diego. I am happily married (almost five years) and have recently entered doggie fatherhood ( I have a seven month old Pug). I am a San Diego native and have lived here for all but three years of my life. My undergrad work was in Art and Systems Analysis (a strange combination). My interests are numerous and varied (from computers to film, from art history to football). I love learning, eating and the little things in life.
