Born in Riverside, California the second of three children and graduated from Jurupa Valley High School.  After high school, I attended California State University San Bernardino earning my B.A in Sociology, continued with my education and earned a Master’s degree in Counseling and Guidance with a Pupil Personnel Services Credential from CSU San Bernardino as well.  

Upon completion of graduate school in June 2008, I was fortunate to secure a temporary AB 1806 counseling position in Chico Unified School District and moved to Chico that December.  The position included working with students and staff from both Alternative Education and Pleasant Valley High School.

A couple years later, a permanent counseling position in Alternative Education was available and I never left.  The students and staff stole my heart and my passion for Alternative Education grew exponentially. In the fall of 2015, I became the Principal of all programs on the Fair View campus.  

Alternative Education is truly an amazing place to work.  With four programs in total, serving extremely courageous and resilient youth throughout our community, the dedicated staff come together each year to provide the best service possible.  This dedication inspires the Administrative team to no end.  We work as a family unit with consistent communication amongst each program.  We collaborate with all secondary schools within CUSD to reach common goals and support one another.

My life changed forever when I met my wife, Katy, in February of 2010, and married on July 13, 2017 in Lake Tahoe, California.  Katy is a teacher at Shasta Elementary in CUSD and an amazing local photographer in Chico. Finding the time to golf and fish as much as possible helps me self-regulate and I am a huge fan of the San Francisco Forty Niners. I am also extremely fortunate to receive support from my parents, Jim and Pattie Moll, my siblings, my wonderful wife and her parents, and our dogs Bennie and Bowman.
