I graduated from Texas State University with a Bachelors in Recreational Administration with a Therapuetic Emphasis.  My background before education has been working with Alcohol and Chemical Dependency for adults and adolescence.  My career then took a redirection to working in the medical field for the Veterans Affairs helping our veterans through Recreational Therapy services.  Mostly my focus was in mental health, community reintegration, and adpative recreational opportunities.  Prior to these experiences I have worked with a variety of kids, adolescence, and adults with various disabilities and medical conditions in many inclusive environments.  At my time in the VA system I acquired my Masters in Education from Schriener University looking at other opportunities to advance my career.   In my personal life I am married with two children and live a fairly simple life.  It was after having children that I decided to make another career move into our education system. 

I firmly believe that everyone has the potential to do great things.  Coming from a small town in South Texas I never thought I'd be where I am today.  Looking back some of my greatest influences in my life were some of my early teachers and coaches.  I find myself now in a unique situation where I am able to be that influence for todays youth.  

Here's to a great year.  Give Your Best.  Nothing Less.
