I attended Piner High School in northwest Santa Rosa.  I then went to Santa Rosa Junior College, and received an Associate Degree in Anthropology.  I transferred to Cal Poly SLO, and was awarded a BA in History.  My focus at Cal Poly was Modern European History.  After Cal Poly I was faced with an easy decision; Law School or the Teacher Credentialing Program at Sonoma State.  I received my Credential in Social Studies in the Winter of 2005.
