Personal Statement
I grew up in Hawaii, but consciously made Colorado Springs my home. I left the practice of law several years ago to follow my true passion of being an educator and a facilitator of critical thinking and reflective judgment. I have an insatiable thirst for knowledge and a need for pragmatism in my life. I struggle with my golf game, but always have a great time when I play. You are in for many laughs when you golf with me. My wife, two children and two step-children are sources of new knowledge every day!
