I was originally born in the Caribbean, grew up in England and finally settled in New York City at the age of 17. I spent 10 years in the military and graduated from Rutgers University with a BA in Geography Urban Planning and a minor in Education. I have to beautiful daughters, Nayeli & Nadia.  I am also the proud dad of my handsome Italian Mastiff, Zeus .  I love teaching Social Studies and try to make it as fun as possible. The students keep me on my toes daily & every day is a learning experience for us all.
