I like to cook and eat good food. I love to travel with my wife. We have been to England, Scotland, Ireland, France, Norway, Denmark, Fiji, and the western U.S. I have one brother and one sister - both older than me. I like to rock climb and do so as often as possible. My wife is from New Jersey. We met while going to school in San Diego. I studied astronomy, geography, history and pre-history in college. I have two dogs named Avie and Bella. They have their own website. They are West Highland White Terriers. We spent much of the summer camping and climbing. I teach science and AVID at CP. I go to a week long conference each year for AVID in San Diego. I love computers and other technology. I am an Apple geek. They make the best tech in the world. I love using it in class and teaching it to my students. I like to watch movies - old ones mostly because today's movies usually stink. I like to listen to rock, jazz, and classical music on my iPod.
