Born and raised as a "Gallupian," I am a member of the Laguna-Hopi/Chippewa tribes. I served as an educator and administrator for GMCS for 25 years, focusing on New Mexico History. My passion is "Culture," and I feel fortunate for the opportunity from the Southwest Indian Foundation to share culture via education.

Sanders, Arizona is where I call home. As a Navajo man, I am grateful to be a member of the SWIF and GCC staff. The knowledge we are fortunate to share here of the local cultures, both native and immigrant, provides positive insight for our visitors and myself. An interest in history overall allows me to further my own understanding with these topics to again share.

Born and raised in Gallup, I am a state champion in track for Gallup High School. I earned a degree in Computer Science from NMSU and moved across the US, working as a software engineer in Tampa, Florida, and then as a network engineer in San Francisco. Before COVID-19, I moved back to Gallup to teach technology at Gallup High School for the Arts and Media program. To further enhance the Arts and Media program, I joined GCC to help promote Gallup's culture to younger generations with my new skills as an adult.
