Welcome to West Port's HOPE class.   This is my 33rd year of teaching Health/Physical Education. I grew up in Pasadena, Texas where I participated as a three sport athlete in volleyball, basketball and track through out high school. During my Senior I was voted "Most Athletic" and recieved a full scholarship to San Jacinto Jr. College. Our team placed 5th in the national tournament where I was then recruited  by Univ. of Central Florida on a full scholarship to continue to play volleyball and run Cross Country  during my 5th year at UCF.

I am a firm believer that educating young people how to develop and apply healthy skills and behavior is an important component for a successful life.
