After a brief stint as a marine biologist for NOAA on a fishing boat in the Bering Sea, Mr. Tacata returned to civilization to find a bunch of kids who needed a teacher. Responding to the call, Tacata started his career as a Science Teacher in January, 2000, at Lee Mathson Middle School in San Jose. Since then, he as taught all kinds of crazy and wonderful kids across the country, from Washington D.C. to Daly City, and now Petaluma, CA.
Mr. Tacata enjoys teaching young people biology, particularly the concepts of evolution, and he loves everything about animals, especially their delicious taste. In 2015, Tacata was given a chance to teach his dream class, Marine Science, and has loved every second since... He considers it an honor to teach his students about the beauty, power, fragility, and majesty of the sea.
In his free time, Mr. Tacata watches lots of TV and movies with his wonderful wife, reads a bunch of junky comic books, science-fiction, and fantasy, roots for the Mighty San Francisco Giants and Golden State Warriors, plays fetch with his faithful and flatulent companion Tuesday the Dog, and eats way too many tacos from Jack in the Box.
Did You Know: Mr. Tacata has never lost to one of his students in Street Fighter. EVER. Don't worry; you won't beat him either ;)
