About: Mr. Sandoval teaches from the heart of the Catholic tradition, drawing on the depth of the Church Fathers, the clarity of St. Thomas Aquinas, and the lived witness of the saints. He is passionate about leading students into the adventure of faith through Scripture, crafting lessons that engage both mind and heart in the lifelong journey toward Christ. Outside the classroom, he enjoys sci-fi, sports, and anime—interests that often sneak into his teaching—and, most of all, time with his wife and four children.
