The following information is an "About Mr. Miser."

Menifee Union School District

This will be my 25th year with MUSD.  I have taught 6th, 7th, and 8th grade Math and Algebra, the latter two for 20 consecutive years.

My Love

The Lord has blessed me with a marriage of over 30 years.  She put me through school and gave me lots of kids ... and still hangs out with me, too, which is hard to believe most days.

There are many people that made this longevity possible, not the least of which is my long-time colleague and friend Greg Tortoreti ... even in retirement, he is still in the wings teaching, guiding, and supporting.  Pat Cahill - without her mentorship I wouldn't have made it two years.  She was the best pure teacher I ever saw.  June Domingo for all of her insight and ability to kid-size even the most difficult of math concepts.  Paul Drob for hiring a guy before he graduated college to give me a shot - thank you!  And to Steve Narin - the best math teacher I ever had (and I had a lot of them) and the number one reason I became a teacher.

And special thanks to all of my current colleagues and administration for bringing me back year after year ... despite the headaches I cause them.

Perpetuity

We have 9 children, including a set of triplets...and, now, 7 grand-children.
