All About Mr. T!

After graduating from ASU with my Accounting degree, I had an internship with a small CPA firm in Phoenix, AZ where I worked for about a year completing small business tax returns. 

After finally realizing office life was not for me, I followed my heart and decided that I wanted to work with kids and become a super awesome Kindergarten Teacher, just like Detective John Kimball did in the greatest movie ever made... Kindergarten Cop!

My first official teaching job after obtaining my AZ Teaching License in 2011 was at Bridges Preschool. 

Once I had a bit of real experience under my belt, however, I felt like I was ready for the big leagues! 

I applied for Kindergarten positions in Tempe Elementary School District and was hired at Wood Elementary for the 2012-2013 school year!

I taught Kindergarten in Tempe for four years, and then life brought me out here to California! 

I was hired as the Pre-K Teacher at KinderCare in Thousand Oaks in 2016, and I worked there full time up until the summer of 2021. 

Both of my children went through my Pre-K Classroom, and it was awesome being their teacher!

In August of 2021 I was lucky enough to be hired as the Technology Teacher at St. Patrick's Day School in Thousand Oaks, and that is where I currently work! 

I absolutely love teaching, and I am very excited for this next adventure in private education/tutoring!

I am a proud father of two awesome little dudes! My oldest son is eight years old, and my youngest is six!  

We like to keep super busy, and our main sport right now is Flag Football! 

Luckily, I got them both on the same team, Go Broncos, and I am so happy to be their head coach! 

I was also the coach for their tee-ball and little league baseball teams, and soccer teams!

My other hobbies and interests include golf, disc golf, pickle ball, fantasy sports, reading, coding, writing, herpetology, and of course, video games!
