One of my more recent logo designs for the Cabrillo Estates Home Owners Association. I picked this image because 90% of the homes have a view of the iconic Morro Rock in Morro Bay, California.

Even as a school principal, I never left the classroom. I found time to teach model lessons, team teach, pull small groups, or tutor after school. Why? Well I didn’t wanna lose touch with the joys of teaching, but also because it helped fuel me and keep my spirits up....

If you cannot explain something in simple terms, you don't understand it. The best way to learn is to teach.

John McCain statement: “The latest attacks on the FBI and Department of Justice serve no American interests – no party’s, no president’s, only Putin’s….If we continue to undermine our own rule of law, we are doing Putin’s job for him.”

Actually, it's @USDOT, @FAANews, & @NASA —and especially the airlines— who deserve credit for this. But, if you're going to take credit for zero airline deaths in 2017 then you should take responsibility for the tens of thousands of gun deaths, too. #lawsmatter teapawt.net/realdonaldtrump/status…
Since taking office I have been very strict on Commercial Aviation. Good news - it was just reported that there were Zero deaths in 2017, the best and safest year on record!
