Biography

I graduated from Mesa High School in 1976 and enlisted in the US Air Force as an Aircraft Loadmaster shortly afterwards.  I was an Instructor/Flight Examiner for the majority of my 26 year Air Force career,instructing both US and international students.  My assignments included working with the US Army in the research, development, and evaluation of newly designed aerial delivery and air drop equipment.  I returned to Arizona in 2003 after completing my Air Force career with my family.   I received my Bachelor of Science degree in Professional Aeronautics from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University.  I have been with Mesa Public Schools for the last two years, teaching Air Force Junior ROTC at Westwood High School.  I am looking forward to a fantastic year teaching the Industrial Technology classes.  My wife, JoAnn and I are lucky to have been blessed with our son Nicholas.  My family and I enjoy the outdoors; fishing is becoming our new passion at the numerous lakes located throughout the state.
