TELL US ABOUT YOURSELF
I’m a philosophy professor at California State University, Bakersfield, and also the Director of the CSUB Institute for Basque Studies. We created the Institute four years ago, but I’ve been hosting Basque academic, cultural, and artistic events since I joined CSUB twenty years ago. I am a lifelong member of the Chino Basque Club, and I also serve on the Board of Directors for the Kern County Basque Club.

WHY THE BEO?
I am very excited to work with the Basque Educational Organization since I deeply share its purpose and mission: to preserve Basque history and cultivate awareness of Basque identity.
