: About Me

I am currently a public high school administrator, and have been for the last six years. I have more than 24 years in public education, starting my career as a Spanish teacher. I do have an expertise in data analysis as it pertains to education, and am more than conversant in curriculum and instructional delivery. I enjoy the research of Piaget, Brunner, Gardner, and anything related to how the brain learns. My multiple intelligences lie in the areas of spatial, linguistic, and intrapersonal intelligences.

I have coached baseball at both the scholastic level and the collegiate level, and have been involved as an instructor in clinics, baseball schools, and providing individual lessons. I am the head coach of a program that is recognized nationally, and have traveled multiple times to the Dominican Republic to bring teams and players to compete against the many MLB academies the dot the landscape. For what it is worth, and it isn't money, I am considered an expert instructor. I also have extensive experience in the collegiate recruiting process, including enrollment, scholarships, the Clearing House, etc.

I also hold as a pasttime body building and weight training. I have extensive knowledge and experience with regards to supplementation, both legal and otherwise, and nutrition- though I am by no means a nutritionist, and I am comfortable with giving advice as to routines, range of motion, and the teaching of lifts and technique.
