Introducing Mr. E...

I started with this district as a freshman at Laguna Hills High School in 1978..:) After a detour to Wyoming and a performing tour with Up With People, I returned to graduate with a B.A. in Literature/English from Cal State Fullerton in 1988. I spent five years in Santa Ana Unified teaching theatre, speech and English before coming to El Toro in 1993 to take over the theatre program which I directed until 1999. After a 2 year stint as the director of ETTV, I returned to my first love, English, full time. I recently completed my Masters in Educational Administration through National University and hope to pursue a new path as assistant principal in the near future. In my spare time (Ha!), I raise four great kids, play ice hockey, coach Varsity Girl's Lacrosse at ANHS, backpack, camp, and ride my motorcycle wherever and whenever I can!
