Michael's Story
Life
After graduation I went off to seriously study for Lutheran Ministry at Christ College Irvine. I seriously decided it wasn't for me. I did, however, meet a beautiful girl, half Armenian and half Swede. Beth and I have been married since 1984. Our daughter, Amanda, graduates from Elk Grove High this year (2004) with a 3.9 and three varsity letters in cross country and track and field. She's a chip off the old block.
I received my B.A. in Sociology from Cal State L.A. in 1983, completed a minor in physical education and requirements for my teaching credential in 1985 at CCI, won a Keck Fellowship for summer graduate work in American Studies at Pepperdine University in 1989, and earned my M.A. in Curriculum and Instruction from Concordia University, Irvine in 1994. I still run, though a bit slower than in the MV days, listen to Led Zeppelin, write poetry, and write, record and produce rock music.

n a struggle at times, but I've been blessed. My life experience has given me an emerging ambition to research possible connections between running and the management of bipolar disorder.
School
This is all stuck in my other bio. Who ever heard of a school bio anyway?!
College
Isn't college school? I also attended Cal State L.A., where I earned a Bachelor's in Sociology in 1983, and did graduate work at Pepperdine University and Concordia University Irvine (M.A. in Curriculum and Instruction 1994).
Workplace
I student taught at Mission Viejo High (Alma Mater hail thee...corny)in 1984, then had to repeat it at Southeast Lutheran High School in Southgate because they wouldn't grandfather clause me on the multicultural requirement. I then taught at Lutheran High School of Ventura County in Simi Valley for four years where I wore a lot of hats and had one of the best coaching experiences of my life working with small cross country programs. Then, it was off to River City High in West Sacramento where I have been ever since. The truth is, I never really got out of high school!
