I am starting my 23rd year of teaching and my 3rd year at Williams High School.  I am part of the 10th grade team, where I teach both On-level and Honors World History.  I am also the club moderator for Journey: a co-ed, multi-cultural group that meets after school once a week to participate in learning the sport of archery, participate in community out- reach when available and prepare for college in the future.  My goal as a teacher is to create meaningful learning oppertunities, energize my school community and empower students to be life-long learners.  I am also a certified archery instructor and strength and conditioning coach.I grew up in Miami, Flordia and graduated from Miami Dade Community College and Barry Univesity.  I started my teaching and coaching career in Miami and would later move on to New York city, where I would teach for another 13 years.  I am a father of 4, own my own archery instructional business and am a die hard FSU fan.  I love archery, volleyball and track and field; all sports that I have coached throughout my career.
