He is a Distinguished Modern Classrooms Educator (DMCE), Modern Classrooms Expert Mentor, and has a B.A. in mathematics, M.Ed. in instructional leadership, and GCERT in ethnomathematics. In 2018, he was co-awarded a Hawai‘i Innovation Fund grant for Student-led Heterogeneous Learning Communities (SHLC), an instructional routine to empower student leaders in a semi-autonomous classroom environment.
