After working in the corporate world for over 20 years in roles such as Plant Manager and Director of Manufacturing, I began to rethink my priorities. Witnessing my wife’s success stories in education deeply inspired me to make a meaningful career switch. I chose to transition into teaching, with a focus on guiding young minds—especially those with special needs. This shift has brought a renewed sense of purpose and fulfillment to my life. I’m currently working in the Chicago Public Schools District as a SECA (Special Education Classroom Assistant), where I support students with diverse learning needs.

I’m also a proud husband and father of two children. In my free time, I enjoy cooking, spending quality time with my family, and volunteering in schools, community programs, and religious events.
