My wife & I married in 2003.  We have two boys that we take care of as well as our bilingual dog, various hummingbirds, bees, and butterflies that frequent our garden.

When I’m not teaching, I enjoy spending time with my family.  We study other languages besides Spanish—for instance I study the scriptures in Spanish, German, Russian, and Portuguese—and teach them to our kids.  We stay active with martial arts: we practice judo, jiu-jitsu, wrestling, muay thai, boxing, & kendo.  We also enjoy calisthenic resistance training & vinyasa yoga.  I make knives & etch metal with one of our boys; I help the other edit & improve stories he writes.  Movies & videogames round out the rest of our free time together.
