I am grateful to be a part of the DIA community since 2008, and have enjoyed multiple terms of service with the Board of Directors. My wife and I have ten children, all of whom have attended Dual Immersion Academy as an important and valued part of their education. I'm passionate about cultural diversity and language learning, and am grateful for opportunities that have allowed me to become fluent in Spanish and spend time in Spanish-speaking communities, and I appreciate DIA's role in helping me to provide similar opportunities to my children. My professional background is in computer science and software development, where I have the pleasure of applying technology to solve problems and work with wonderful teams and people. My first term on DIA's board started in 2010, and I have previously served as board president, and I'm excited about the school's mission and growth, and the bright future in store for DIA and its students. I love being involved in the friendly and strong community at DIA, who share my passion for educating children in a multi-cultural bilingual environment to prepare them for their future.
