Personal I was born and raised in Mexicali, Mexico where summer days reached 125 degrees in temperature. My friends think that I am crazy for vacationing in Mexicali during the summer, sometimes I agree with them. I enjoy living in Utah, a physically active lifestyle is easy to achieve here. I enjoy taking long hikes on the trails with my wife (Elizabeth) and daughter (Miroslava). I enjoy Greek classic literature and Monday night football. I even competed in an American idol type competition in Mexicali when I was 8 years old. I played volleyball, baseball, softball, basketball and soccer until I was 14. At 14 I found American football and I played it until I was 24. I enjoyed the mental and physical aspects of the game. Now I play racquetball, badminton, golf and mountain bike.   Teaching Philosophy Physical Education teachers need to be well versed, think critically, be reflective and understand the processes of teaching and learning. I see myself as someone who can encourage and challenge future physical education teachers to understand themselves, their profession and the students they will be teaching. I want students to be aware of the complexities they will be facing when teaching physical education. I believe that a reflective, adaptable, open-minded and knowledge-thirsty teacher can have a great impact on his/her students. My job as a professor, when training future physical educators, is to develop, foster, and encourage those aptitudes.   Professional Focus My long term research focus is the application of sub-discipline knowledge to teaching physical education. Exercise physiology, biomechanics, motor learning, motor development, and other sub-disciplines are part of the foundational preparation of future physical educators. If we understand how these teachers apply their sub-discipline pedagogical content knowledge, we may be able to develop sub-discipline courses that foster these notions and improve student learning and lifelong activity patterns. Another research interest is childhood obesity causes and intervention program effectiveness on obesity.   Significant Accomplishments, Publications, Creative Works Awards New Mexico Scholar (2006): Award given by the University faculty to outstanding graduate students.
