=MINI-BIO:= I've been in education for the last eight years, before that I worked in the call center industry. Throughout my careers the two skills that has helped me the most are: advanced technology skills and being bilingual in Spanish. I started using computers as a kid in 1983 when I was given a [|Timex Sinclair computer]. I went to the library and copied BASIC code from books. While my friends were playing [|Atari], I was copying and programming code for the same games and then saving the programs on my cassette recorder. I joined the Apple Club in school and learned [|LOGO] on the [|Apple IIe]. Just like the industry, I have evolved a great deal too.

I am originally from Clute, Tx and grew up around a Spanish speaking public, but never thought knowing a bit of Spanish it was going to lead to anything until I saw the most beautiful foreign exchange student in 1992 while attending Lumberton High School. Trying to ask her out was problematic since she was just visiting our country with limited English, so I had to pull from my experiences in Clute and I am proud to say that they paid off. We have been married since 1993 and have a wonderful daughter. In 2000, while attending Lamar University for Business, I discovered a way to graduate quicker by switching my major and minor. It resulted in me graduating with my Bachelor of Arts degree in Spanish. I’ve taught middle school, high school I-IV, and recently taught Spanish though Region 5's Distance Learning program. I was recently was moved into a position where I will be allowed to share my eight years of technology in the classroom experience in webinars and workshops in and around the district. Please take a look at any of my service offerings and see if they might suit you or your school’s needs. Hope to see you soon,
