Our Team

Angelica graduated from Cal Poly San Luis Obispo (SLO) School of Engineering with a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science. Angelica was a stay at home mother for 10 years and most recently has worked as a software engineer and developer for St. Jude Medical and CAD Research Center Cal Poly in SLO, and as a Network Administrator for the Cal Poly Student Union.

Angelica believes it is more important than ever for math education to improve since our culture is more dependent on technology and math based professions. Angelica wants to make math clear and understandable one child at a time and believes the Mathnasium Method is the best way to accomplish this.

In her spare time, Angelica loves to play chess, crochet geometric designs and play trivia games. She has been a member of MENSA since 2008 and enjoys driving on cross-country vacations with her family each year learning state facts and visiting state parks.

Craig graduated from Wright State University in Dayton, Ohio with Bachelor of Science in Systems/Electrical Engineering. He has devoted 24 years in corporate engineering and management in the Aerospace and Medical Device industries and currently is the Director of Program Management for St. Jude Medical.

Craig is excited to be able to teach math to children in a way that makes sense to them. He also looks forward to teaching children the importance of strong study skills, which will serve them in subjects beyond math as they make their way through high school and on to college.

In his spare time, Craig enjoys playing acoustic guitar, spending time with his family and sharing in their interests and activities.

Craig and Angelica are members of the Valencia community where they are raising their four children and they look forward to serving your family!
