Danville,CA
Summary
I'm excited to pursue my dream of teaching while working as a substitute teacher. Inspired by my mom, my youngest’s grandmother, and my mother-in-law, all of whom were teachers, I returned to school during COVID to complete my degree. Coaching youth sports has deepened my love for teaching children. With a blended family of four kids (two still at home and in school) and a small personal fitness training business in Danville with my wife, I bring a unique blend of passion, dedication, and real-world experience to the classroom.
