Started my school career fresh out of High School as a Special Needs Side by Side aid. I left Schools and came back 12 years later as Special Needs Bus Driver and Maintenance Technician for Buckeye Elementary School District. I worked my way through my Bachelors degree program at Grand Canyon University in Business Management while working my way into the Business Office cross training in Finance, Accounts Payable, Accounts Receivables, Warehouse and Purchasing of which I spent 5 years gaining experience and knowledge. After spending 8 years at BESD my family grew to 3 beautiful children and we relocated to East Mesa. I now find myself as 1 of 8 amazing and talented Procurement Specialist Supervisors at Mesa Public Schools. I have served as the Greater Phoenix Consortium of Schools President and currently serving as the AZ Association of School Business Officials Director of Procurement. In my off time I enjoy Kayaking, spending time with the kids and wife and playing Minecraft with my oldest.
