I am one of three Naval Science Instructors at the George Bush High School Navy Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps (JROTC) program. I have been teaching JROTC for 25 years, 4 at Nimitz High School in Aldin ISD and 21 at George Bush High School. Prior to settling in the Houston area, I spent twenty years in the United States Marine Corps, where I served in a variety of challenging and rewarding assignments. I was born in the United States Canal Zone, in the country of Panama. I have a bachelors degree in Business Management from the University of Phoenix. I currently reside in Katy, Texas, with my beautiful wife, Kathleen. My wife and I are strong believers in higher education and have encouraged our children to achieve more than they could imagine through education. Our children have attended and graduated from Texas Southern University, the University of Houston main campus, the University of Texas at Austin, University of Texas at San Antonio, Texas State University, Our Lady of the Lake University, Texas A&M University at College Station, Southern Methodist University, and Prairie View A&M University.
