I support all people regardless of race, religion, gender, age, orientation, or citizenship!
I practice humility in all my work and efforts to help people feel well, safe, and belonging!
I am a lifetime resident of San Jose and the surrounding South Bay Area. I love what I’m doing because I love helping people. I am a cat & dog person. Tigg-UR is shown above. I have a 2 y/o German Shepard at home too. I am married to the best HS teacher Campbell, CA.
I have been hooked on Basketball for the past 40 years. I fell in love with the game coaching at the Boys & Girls Club. Throughout the NCAA season you will find me at Santa Clara’s Leavey Center for every home game - women’s & men’s. When I’m not there I am watching it, coaching it, or talking about it.
I am proud to be a veteran of the US Army where I served honorably over-seas and in the US from 1983 ~ 1986.
