Hey everyone!  I usually go by Mr. T, as my name can be hard to pronounce until you've heard it a lot.  This is my first year in the John Swett Unified School District, and I'm so happy being a part of the Carquinez Middle School community!!  This is my second year formally teaching, although I student taught for an additional year before that while pursuing my Master's Degree.  I have taught World History, U.S. History, and Psychology at the high school level, and have taught World History and U.S. History at the middle school level.  This is my first year teaching English and Debate, and it feels great to branch into other subjects!

I love playing tennis, exercising, and pretty much every other sport.  Spending time with my family is very important, as is reading.  I have lived all over the U.S., from Southern California to Connecticut, Michigan to Florida, Palm Springs to Northern California.  I am a lifelong learner, and love picking up new skills or finding a new book.
