About Me

2 cups of espresso

Hello!  My name is Samuel Huston, and I go by my middle name Clay.  I am relatively local, having brown up in Oceanside.  All of my non collegiate schooling was in Oceanside.  I went to Del Rio Elementary School until the sixth grade.  Our junior high was Lincoln Junior High School.  I attended El Camino High School before moving north to persue my college education.  I earned my Associates degree from FootHill Community College.  I then transferred to Cal Stats San Marcos for a BS in Business administration with an emphasis on finance.  I worked my way through school so I never seemed to have enough time for everything in my life.  I have always found upper division classes to be somewhat difficult, but enjoyable.  

            As far as technology, I have always been more of a hardware guy than a software guy.  I can build a computer or update firmware on a bluray player with ease.  However, I do not sit glued to my computer watching people update their status on facebook.  I’ve always found social networking to be pretty lame.  I do like the ability to connect with people that I have not seen in years however.

            I really like CSUSM’s mission statement insofar as it places the emphasis on the student.  The student is the reason for us being here and they need to be at the center of any teacher oriented discussion.
