Biography

About
I am currently teaching Algebra 1A and 1B in our College Readiness math courses. I am dedicated to help each student reach their individual level of success in Math. I am currently in my 32nd year at this great school of Mater Dei. I started high school as a freshman in 1981 and I really haven't left since then. The priests of the school, back way then, used to come to eat Mexican food at my grandmother's house. Mater Dei has been a part of my family in good time and bad. . My wife and three children are also graduates of Mater Dei.
