I grew up in San Jose, California, and was fortunate enough to have received a scholarship to play football at Texas A&M University-Kingsville.  I started my teaching and coaching career at Riviera ISD for two years before I first came to Natalia.  After a year and a half, I made a change and worked in the oil field for two years.  During my time away from teaching I realized how much I missed being a teacher and coach.  I missed it so much, that I left that line of work after two years and got back into teaching at Kingsville ISD for one year.  Following the one year at Kingsville, I came back to Natalia where I have been ever since.  I have a beautiful wife, Megan, and two amazing children Colton and Paisley.
