| Introduction | This is from the HTH website: I'm a San Diego native who was educated at San Diego State University and the Claremont Graduate School. One of the highlights of my life as a student was living in Paris, France, where I had the opportunity to study the language and meet a wide variety of people from around the world. I have also taught on deployed Navy warships as a community college instructor. My passions include listening to a wide variety of music, baseball, cinema (including HBO series!), and spending leisurely Sunday mornings with the newspaper. At High Tech High I sponsor the chess X-Block and have taught an intersession on U.S. History and Culture through the genre of western films. |
