- Message: Hello, I'm glad to see that people still get in touch. I'm married to my wife Lilia who by the way graduated in 1990. I have three girls, Sophia-10, Jessica-6 and Iliana-5. I know that those who knew me in school didn't like me very much because I was a Jerk. My wife thought so to. But I've grown, learned the error of my ways and Just want to apologize to anyone that I have wronged, or hurt with vicious words and stupid stuff. With that said, I'm an Assistant Pastor at Otay Apostolic church in Chula Vista where I've been all my life. I still play drums on a regular basis, but I don't have time to join the alumni band, kinda busy with home kids and Church. I just wanted to say HI, and God Bless everyone of you for being apart of my life in one way or another.=)

- Message: Hey everybody, I went to school in LA for a year, moved back to SD, then moved out to Philly and have been there since 1991. I have been making a living as a musician doing live shows, sessions and yard work. I specialize in funk and prunning. If you are in Philly, let me know, it would be good to see some old classmates. I hope you all are well.
