About Me

I am a second year teacher. Prior to joining the Pearl School District, I spent the previous 18 years working for General Atomics. Some of the great programs I worked on included the National Ignition Campaign (NIC) and the Electromagnetic Aircraft Launch System (EMALS) and the Advanced Arresting Gear (AAG).

For NIC, my focus was developing a production line to build components to sub-micron accuracy that would be shot with the largest laser located at the National Ignition Facility (Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory). From there I moved to the Electromechanical Systems group that is responsible for developing and manufacturing the launch and recovery systems (EMALS/AAG) for the aircraft carriers CVN 78, 79, 80 and 81. Below are two links that show high level videos of the programs.

I bring to education real world experience, and hope to connect the "Whys" we are learning certain subjects and topics. I am a firm believer that education and STEM are the building blocks to the future growth of our students. Look forward to a great year at Pearl High School!
