After graduating from Gonzales High School in 1989 I attended Texas Lutheran College (now Texas Lutheran University) where I graduated in 1993 with a B.S. in chemistry with a dual major in mathematics.  Upon graduation I attended Duke University in North Caronlina where I obtained my Master's of Science in Chemistry in 1996.  

After working in the laser industry for 5 years in Denver, CO, I returned home to run the family business in Gonzales.  While doing that I also began teaching chemistry as as adjunct professor at Victoria College (where I spent 7 years) before deciding to become a full time high school teacher at KCHS where I am now in my 4th year of teaching.

I currently teach Chemistry, Dual Credit Chemistry and Integrated Physics and Chemistry.

I am married to my wife Gabrielle and have one son and 2 step-children.
