I do wop do wop, shoobe do be do wop do wop, music. I can’t complain. Helping out stars shine on the big stages of life. It’s ok to like Nickleback in my class. We might even play some too, among many other types of music from around the world. We are not a traditional music program. We start bands, write original content, and perform it at real venues.
It’s too much fun. Besides teaching, I tend to explore the world as much as possible. I was Born in Colombia and taught elementary school in San Francisco before moving back to Tulsa.

Educational Background
- Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education from Oklahoma State University
I’m just a guy lucky enough to work with the best team in the city! #TeamTSAS. I am a Tulsa native and a descendant of Black Wall Street/Greenwood. I married a Chicago girl and together we parent a very energetic Siberian husky.
I first started in education as an elementary educator, and later I had the honor of advising the Mayor of Tulsa on education issues as a member of his administration. But the opportunity to lead TSAS is an honor unlike any other that I’ve ever had. I know that the students that we have in our building today are the world-changers of tomorrow. Don’t believe me? Just watch!
When I’m not at TSAS, I love to read, write, study languages, and watch sports on television.

My wife and I currently have one rescue critter, a mischievous long-hair dachshund named Harvey. I’ve had a lifelong affinity for songwriting, mostly alternative/indie and americana. I enjoy gardening, mountain biking, fishing as well as learning new trades and tinkering around the house. I’m not particularly good at light conversation.
I believe that education should be liberating and it’s with that notion I embarked on this journey. There is no field more in need of challenging exclusive and often dehumanizing practices than in special education. At TSAS, it is my dream to continue to build upon an inclusive education program that embraces the unique needs of all our students and prioritizes togetherness in the classroom and greater community.
