I have taught for 28 years and am equally passionate about teaching and creating art. I am so proud of our art students that challenge themselves to create and be their best each day. I really do believe we are the finest middle school art program in New Mexico. Shine on Warriors!!  I enjoy nature, travel, faith, and a good steak. The Denver Broncos and Nuggets are my teams. I’ve been married for 32 years, have a son who is 27 and a daughter of 24.
