In This Section

I’m happy to say this is my 12th year at FTHS. I grew up in Ventura and attended Saticoy, Balboa and Buena. Immediately out of high school, I moved to San Diego to attend SDSU where I majored in Social Science. I moved back to Ventura and attended California Lutheran University for my teaching credential, which I am still paying for! Prior to coming to FTHS I taught both middle and high school at a private, college preparatory school in the valley. I used to spend a fortune on gas, but instead of an hour-long commute, I now have about a 7 minute drive to work. I look forward to working with you this year!
