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.
