He has been a teacher for almost 30 years, and this is his 14th year at Granite Bay High. He’s also been an instructor at the University of Missouri and an adjunct journalism professor at American River College. In addition to teaching, he has 20-plus years of experience (mostly part-time, some full-time) as a newspaper reporter and editor and freelance writer and editor. When he's not in the classroom or advising the Gazette student newspaper, he works occasional shifts as a copy editor at the Sacramento Bee, serves as a teacher trainer and consultant with an educational publisher in Palo Alto and does some freelance magazine/newspaper writing and business consulting. He's been a high school and club swimming and water polo coach for many years; he was an assistant water polo coach at Ponderosa High for the four years his son played there. His bachelor's degree is in Social Science from the Harvard of the West, Sacramento State University.
