Something else about me: I have an amazing son and daughter. My daughter is currently studying at UC Santa Barbara. I consider myself a lifetime student, as well as a teacher. Some of my greatest mentors have been family, friends, teachers, college professors, colleagues, and many students who have played major roles in shaping my character, supporting my path toward evolving, and challenging me to keep growing.
