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.  Duirng 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 amizing children Colton and Paisley.
