When I joined the Brentwood School faculty 15 years ago, I figured it would just be your average teaching job. But it very quickly became my social network and my home-away-from-home, so to speak. Several of my best friends are colleagues here, my wife wound up coming here to work for awhile... and two fellow teachers (David Foote and Dave Tashima) even served as groomsmen in my wedding years ago! And now with two of my children on the West Campus, Brentwood School has truly become an extended family.”

Personal philosophy: “Give a man a fish and he eats for a day, teach a man to fish, and he eats for a lifetime.”
I love Brentwood! From the friendly students, to my wonderful colleagues, to the absolutely gorgeous campus, I feel lucky to spend my days here. Brentwood is a professional learning community where faculty members are encouraged to be the life-long learners that we are training our students to be. It is a very special community.”

As a Brentwood School alumna and teacher, I can wholeheartedly say that Brentwood has allowed me to grow intellectually, socially, and spiritually for more than a decade in a challenging and supportive environment. Brentwood filled my teenage years with cherished friendships, stimulated me to stretch out of my comfort zone in a wide array of activities, and prepared me unbelievably well for a rigorous college education. I am privileged to return to this special campus where smiles abound, and we enrich not only one another, but the community around us as well."
