About Me

Spanish teacher, also certified in Business, ESL, and English. Former Systems Analyst (Industrial Engineer) and Production Manager in Manufacturing and a retired Army Engineer. I’m not in the business of handing out A’s or F’s. I believe my job is to help my students learn skills they can use (or build on) for life, and to help them do their best. I want to teach them a little about the world, give them a little insight into operating in a global economy, give them a window into other cultures, and help them learn to think outside of their neighborhood or town.
