Professor of History
M.A. in History, California State University, East Bay

Before coming to the Imperial Valley in 2004, I lived most of my life in the San Francisco Bay area. I worked in the legal field before I began teaching computer applications in 1995 and community college history in 1998. I also work as a public historian and consultant on museum exhibits and published my first book in 2007: Images of America, Pleasanton, California. I specialize in California and United States History.
