Welcome to West Port's HOPE class.   This is my 28th year of teaching Health/Physical Education. I grew up in Houston Texas and was  a three sport athlete in volleyball, basketball and track through out my high school years. I was voted "Most Athletic". I recieved a full scholarship to San Jacinto Jr. College and our team placed 5th in the nation. I continued to play college volleyball at Univ. of Central Florida. My 5th year in college at UCF I ran Cross Country. I am a firm believer that educating young people about how to develop and apply healthy skills and behavior is an important component  for a successful life.
