San Jose State University Courses
Foothill Community College Courses
    Geography Lessons

The courses that I teach at SJSU and Foothill are basically the same. Global Geography at SJSU is the same as World Regional Geography at Foothill. Cultural Geography at SJSU is the same as Human Geography at Foothill.

My students often tell me that they can tell that I have a great amount of passion for the subject of geography. There is so much to know and I love to share my knowledge with my students, as well as learn from them.
