\"\"<\/td>\nAlthough the name Branstetter is of German origin, my family is from Ecuador \u2013 specifically the cities of Latacunga and Quito. \u00a0All my relatives are Ecuadorian. I am (58) and I have two awesome younger sisters, Jacqueline \u2013 who lives in Ecuador and Susan \u2013 who lives in Huntington Beach, CA. I am married to an awesome wife and mother, Donna. We have two amazing boys, Jacob and Trevor, whom I love very much.<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

I was born in Inglewood, California on May 8, 1968. My family lived in Westchester, CA until I was 8 years old. We then moved to Fountain Valley in Orange County. I graduated from Mater Dei High School in Santa Ana. At Mater Dei, I lettered in soccer where I played all four years.<\/span>\"\"<\/p>\n

I graduated from CSU Fullerton with a major in History.\u00a0 While attending CSUF, I lived in the dorms where I met my wonderful wife to be.<\/span><\/p>\n

My final year of college was completed abroad at Nanzan University in Nagoya, Japan. When I came back from Japan, I became a private investigator until I finished earning my teacher credential \u2013 also completed at CSUF.<\/span><\/p>\n

In 1993, I was hired by the Lake Elsinore Unified School District to begin my teaching career at Machado Elementary School where I taught for two years.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/td>\nIn 1995, the sixth grade, which was still part of the elementary school, moved up to the middle school. I took a bold step and moved up with the sixth grade. It was at Elsinore Middle School that I taught Math and Science for seven years. I was definitely a big kid at EMS. I used to play basketball with the eighth graders before school, during recess break and during lunch. This is how I got to know most of the other kids at the school. I also organized an annual paintball gathering for all my students in Corona, CA. That was some of the most memorable times.<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

.<\/span><\/p>\n

In 1997, I graduated with a 4.0 G.P.A. from Azusa Pacific University with a Master\u2019s Degree in Educational Administration.<\/span><\/p>\n

I eventually moved back down to elementary school and began teaching at Cottonwood Canyon Elementary School when it first opened in 2002.\u00a0 I taught fifth grade for one year and then moved down to third grade.\u00a0 While teaching third grade, I had the opportunity to assist in the kindergarten classes.\u00a0 I was amazed how well behaved the kids were and the amount of knowledge the children gained throughout their first year at CCE.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In 2004, I decided to make the move to kindergarten and be a part of this amazing social and educational development.<\/span><\/p>\n

It has been my privilege to be teaching kindergarten since 2004 and I absolutely love it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Present Interests:<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I am currently working on a master\u2019s degree in Artificial Intelligence. After I retire from teaching in 2028, I plan to continue my education with a master\u2019s degree in Land and Property Development. I\u2019m excited to combine these two areas as I begin a new adventure after my teaching career.<\/span><\/p>\n

I have always loved working on computers and finding creative ways to use technology. I built this website as a helpful resource for our parents, and I have been a proud Photoshop user for almost 30 years. Over that time, Photoshop has helped me create countless fun activities and projects for my students.<\/span><\/p>\n

I also enjoy Dr. Pepper\u2014although \u2018enjoy\u2019 may be understating the seriousness of the relationship.\u00a0\ud83d\ude02<\/span><\/p>\n

Let\u2019s have a FUN-TASTIC year.\u00a0 Yee-haw!<\/span><\/p>\n
