An Ojai resident and Junior High School teacher for the last 25 years, Michael is active in the community through the Ojai Valley Land Conservancy and citizens to Protect Ojai.
Michael believes that public school in general, and Junior High School in specific, can cause concern for students and parents alike. He offers, "My 25 years as a public junior high school teacher has given me an understanding of those concerns. I will share with any student, parent or family how best to thrive in junior high." In addition, Mike and his family have traveled around the world, visiting some thirty countries. He is prepared to share insights on how to travel with young children for an extended period of time even while on a limited budget. He can advise on itineraries, necessary documents, preparations for your children and other assorted travel issues.
