I was born in Peru.  I moved to the United States to attend college at Brigham Young University.  My last year of college I met my wife Lisa.  After both of us graduated from college we moved to my wife's hometown "Hood River" (1993).  We have 4 children and we all love our community.  I enjoy the outdoors and doing all kinds of fun things with my family.  You'll probably will see us at the river or the beach during the summer.  I also like to play tennis with my kids and friends, watch the Grand Slams on TV and maybe some day go to see the US Open, Wimbledon or French Open.  I love art, music, gardening, reading, skiing, math, science, etc. 

 I obtained my Master's Degree in Education from Portland State University.   I enjoy teaching at Parkdale,  Kids are awesome!!!
