I am a Kinesiology instructor at California State University, Chico.  I train future physical education teachers, fitness instructors and coaches in a variety of skills, applications and best practices.  I have a vast sport and fitness background with 20 years teaching K-12, university students and adults thus being a strong communicator with various ages.  I have also coached several athletic sports teams.  I develop curriculum and pedagogy skills with graduate teaching assistans through activity courses at the university level in classes such as core fitness, weight training, soccer, ultimate disc, flag football, basketball, and tennis.  My ability to plan, teach, manage and motivate in a variety of physical activities is my strength.   Teaching that inspires others is an art; that is my passion!
