About Me
I'm a husband and father of two children. I am a special education teacher at an elementary school where I help children of all needs. I am Southern California born and raised and I wouldn't want to live anywhere else—unless it's closer to the Disneyland Resort! There's nothing I like more than sitting on a balcony at a Disney Resort, wearing a Hawaiian Disney shirt, immersed in the magic. When I'm not planning my family's next Disney Vacation Club adventure, you can find me behind a camera lens capturing magical Disney memories, making pizza from scratch, out on the golf course, or spending time with my loved ones.
About My Family
We are a Disney-loving family of four. I've been married for over ten years and our date-night of choice is always the Disneyland Resort. Together, my wife and I have two kids who have grown up at Disneyland and now, Walt Disney World. Our son wants to be an Imagineer and have his own Disney Vacation Club points when he grows up—he says he'll share! And our fearless princess would love to live in Aurora's castle. Our kids are all about the rides! Both kids rode Space Mountain, Radiator Springs Racers, Big Thunder Mountain Railroad and The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror at just three years old— they are coaster junkies! Watching our kids grow up at the "Happiest Place on Earth" makes me the happiest dad on earth. For us, Disney continues to bring us closer together with each trip and the magic in our hearts keeps growing stronger.
About My Disney Experience
My wife and I each grew up visiting Disneyland once a year as kids. As we became adults, our visits lessened but when our son was two, we became Annual Passholders again and haven't looked back since! Seeing the joy in our son's eyes walking down Main Street, U.S.A and meeting Mickey Mouse for the first time brought back the happiness and joy from my childhood! We joined Disney Vacation Club in 2015 and it opened new doors that we never thought were possible. My wife and I had always dreamed of visiting Walt Disney World as kids, and Disney Vacation Club allowed us to not only experience our first visit, but also make that same dream come true for our kids! Seeing the Disney magic in the faces of our children each trip, makes it all worth it and we are so excited to see where Disney Vacation Club takes us next!
