More than professional background, his influences thru education are: Oceanside High School, a multiethnic and uniquely multicultural environment in Southern California; Master’s in Public Administration, education emphasis, teaching credentials and BA in English, at CND, a small private college; AA in Liberal Arts, at Mira Costa CC, his bridge to understanding higher education in California.

The concept of leading from the middle is dear to his heart and important in how he has approached professional life as an educator. Why Middle Leadership? “Being a campus leader is self defined. Engagement from every mind and every heart has value and importance in the business of helping students and campuses meet educational goals and expectations.”
