a short biography
My life has gone through many challenges and changes. I've overcome many of life's obstacles, have found peace within myself today, and transitioned gracefully into a new era.
I have attained a Bachelors of Science degree, a Masters of Education degree, and have completed the Administration and Organization coursework for an Educational Specialist degree (36 credit hours!), and have a School Administer Certificate and a Professional Education Certificate.
In addition my Educational endorsements I have a Residential Builders' and Maintenance & Alteration Contractors' Board Residential Builder License, a 30 Hour OSHA certificate, and am a Notary Public for the County of Wayne.

I am the former Principal at Logan elementary school in Detroit,
MI, which closed due to the re-organization in the Detroit Public Schools
district. However, I am fortunate enough and proud to say the my school
met the target achievements set by the No Child Left Behind law and achieved the
Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) designation for 9 consecutive years!
I've been an artist since I
can remember and a working/performing musician for, let's see, about 30 years. I
not only paint guitars, but landscapes and formal oil portraits on canvas.
My hobby includes playing music that ranges from Salsa/Merengue to Tex-Mex to Santana- (I like to say Latin-Soul-Rock) to Jazz and rock and everything else danceable in between.
And of course, to complete my
life, I need to include my wife, Beatriz (below),
and my daughters Cristal and
Alma (my third daughter Angelica lives out of state).
