I was born in Cuero, Texas, graduated from Cuero High School and then attended Victoria College and graduated from the University of Houston - Victoria Campus with a B.S. in Computer Science. I was a Business Computer Applications and Computer Science teacher at Goliad High School in Goliad, Texas for five years. I also taught Cisco Networking courses and Webmastering. In July 2000, I began working for the Cuero Independent School District as a computer technologist, teacher and currently as the webmaster. I have taught Video Technology, Webmastering, Computer Science and Networking for Cuero ISD. This is my second year as a fulltime Instructional Technologist and Webmaster.
