When I joined the Brentwood School faculty 14 years ago, I figured it would just be your average teaching job. But it very quickly became my social network and my home-away-from-home, so to speak. Several of my best friends are colleagues here, my wife wound up coming here to work for awhile... and two fellow teachers (David Foote and Dave Tashima) even served as groomsmen in my wedding years ago! And now with one of my children on the West Campus, Brentwood School has truly become an extended family.”

Personal philosophy: “Give a man a fish and he eats for a day, teach a man to fish, and he eats for a lifetime.”
I love Brentwood! From the friendly students, to my wonderful colleagues, to the absolutely gorgeous campus, I feel lucky to spend my days here. Brentwood is a professional learning community where faculty members are encouraged to be the life-long learners that we are training our students to be. It is a very special community.”

Favorite quote: "Ua ola loko i ke aloha." Love gives life within.
To me, Brentwood is a school where students, faculty, and families work together and create an engaging and vibrant community. It is a place that encourages lifelong learning and teaches students to actively pursue their passions both inside and outside of the classroom. Each day I look forward to coming to work because I know that I work in a community whose members will have a positive impact on the world.”
