About me

He started his education career by teaching elementary Spanish and general studies in several North Texas school districts before moving to Arlington ISD to teach 4th grade. While there he found a passion for teaching ELL students how to succeed. From there he became an Instructional Coach and Response to Intervention Facilitator and then a World Languages Instructional Specialist.
In his current role, he helps expand Project Education’s ELL offering to numerous states. He has also helped to design proficiency tracking and targeted intervention software for meeting English Learner needs.
