In my time at Bakersfield College, I have worked as classified staff, faculty, and administration. I started out in a technical role, managing the college's web site. Since then, I've been a professor, a department chair, a Faculty Director of Technology, Innovation and Professional Development, a Dean of Instruction, and a Vice President. In the Fall of 2022, I returned to a faculty position, and have been enjoying my time back in the classroom. I continue to be drawn to positions of leadership, and still believe that I have something to offer students through service in that kind of role. I'm just waiting for the right opportunity.

In addition to the time I have worked at Bakersfield College, I have spent about 20 years as an Adjunct Faculty member for Pepperdine University in the Graduate School of Education and Psychology. I taught innovative classes on learning theory, action research, game theory, computational thinking, and other fun topics.

I'm also a husband, a father of seven, a tinkerer, an artist, and a pretty good cook. I love learning new things, challenging myself, and I believe that real change is possible in education. The concept of failure is an ongoing research and writing interest of mine, as it relates to learning, parenting and leadership.
