Mr. Burns is a true 'surfer dude' at heart.  He moved to San Diego from Sacramento when he was five.  Mr. Burns loves being with his family, doing martial arts, and of course surfing.  He also played in a band, that’s how he met his wife.  He has been married for 22 years and has two kids.  They have two pets: Jessie, his fat beagle, and Peppy their cat. Mr. Burns went to Cal State San Marcos and he would like to go back to college to learn more about teaching.  Mr. Burns said that when he gets older he wants to be eating seafood, Thai food and traveling the world. 

Mr. Burns is a fun teacher.  He wanted to be a teacher because he loves helping people- especially children.  Mr. Burns like teaching History because he likes learning about the past to help learn about the present and where we came from.

Mr. Burns helps every student, but one student that stood out to him in particular was a kid who was going through some rough times. And because of that, Mr. Burns helped him get though it by telling him to be involved in clubs, sports, and in life.  This helped the student a lot and made him feel better.  He says almost every student changes his life mostly to be more patient and humble.  A martial arts teacher taught him that he could do a lot more than he thought he could as well as the true meanings of discipline and respect.
