Family Life:
 Married for 33 years to my high school sweetheart and best friend Rob Hogan (we both are OC grads of 1980).  I have two adult sons, Sean (OC class of 2006) and Joseph (class of 2009) and a lovely daughter -n – law Erin (teaches at another catholic school in Houston).  Sean and Erin live in Houston and Joseph lives in Plano.  I have a mixed poodle that completes our home named Sadie.  We have very close extended families—party of 20 is very common.  I love Galveston island and O’Connell.                                                                               
Why do you teach? I teach because I love math and I love working with people. I want to make a difference.  I attended catholic school from Pre-K through high school and had some very fabulous teachers.  I continue to grow and learn and want to help my students to be prepared for whatever future they embark.

My Expectations of My students:
I expect each student to have respect for themselves and the other people in the classroom. Each student needs to work hard and never quit. It may not always be easy but with effort WE CAN DO IT!!!
