My Bio
LIFE: I was born and I'm still alive :).

SCHOOL: I went to school (sometimes) and often hated it. I was on the 31-year plan for my BS degree (2004) Then I went to OMET (Cadre 7, 7th Sense) and had the best learning experience of my life.

CAREERS: My adult life started as a Power Plant Operator, where, after 9 years I was promoted to a Training Center Instructor, which is where I learned that I loved to help people learn. Now, I help people learn a variety of technologies including Digital Photography and Computer Network Administration and Engineering at places like major corporations, UCLA Extension, and Pierce College (on a tenure track)

PERSONAL: Wonderfully married for more than 12 years. No kidletts.

My Interests
THE FUN STUFF: Ask me what a Gibson Florentine is and why I like it better than my Stratocaster. I enjoy:

  • Guitar
  • Saxophone
  • Hiking
  • Cycling
  • Photography
  • Good Friends
My wife has two cats, but I got to name them, one is named Clapton, and the other is Ms. Hendrix.
