Tell us a little about yourself!

I was born in the San Fernando Valley on November 3rd.  I travelled lots growing up. Went to 10 different schools growing up! I was always the new kid.  I graduated high school at age 16. I was the only senior taking drivers ed. I am fluent in both English as well as Spanish.  I grew up playing outside and making forts and running around until my mom made us come in.  I had a great imagination as a kid.  I am the oldest of 4 children.  I have been working with children for about 19 years now! I coach and am a commissioner for Simi Youth Soccer. I am the proud father of 2 amazing boys. Both Ryan and Alec come to the studio and they are great friends to the boys and girls who meet them.  I am married to Ms. Kim who is my assistant director here at the Learning Center.
