About me

After earning my B.S. in Chemistry at Cal Poly SLO in 1982, I stayed on the central coast and earned my teaching credential in 1984. With no teaching jobs in the SLO area, I travelled back to L.A. and taught for a year at Hoover High School in Glendale. That following summer, I was fortunate to run into Jack Rose while he was watering his lawn and learned about the opening at SM. Apparently, my predecessor resigned the day before. I've been here ever since.

Hobbies

I love the outdoors. On the weekend, if the sun is out, I'm hiking. I took the picture above when I visited the White Mountains and hiked through the Ancient Bristlecone Pine Forest, one the north side of Big Pine, CA. The trail is a nice 4 mile loop that passes by the the Methuselah tree, found at 11,000 feet above sea level, and is 4,843 years old.

I love to find new recipes and try them out. If I'm staring at my computer screen, I am likely to be looking at pictures of food either on foodgawker.com or tastespotting.com trying to find something new to cook for dinner.

One afternoon a week, weather permitting, I'll be golfing. I love the sound of a well struck ball, and of course, the sound of a putt dropping into the hole.
