Hello, I'm Adan Florez. I was born and raised in the Valley of the Sun around the Tempe area. I graduated from Tempe High School in 1998, served in the United States Navy, and attended Mesa Community College and Arizona State University. I taught in the private sector for seven (7) years before coming to the public sector. I have played the trumpet since I was 10 and was able to have many experiences because of that, some of which was being in a Sesame Street video and even getting to meet the President of the United States. I loved music and performing so much, I couldn't wait to teach it here at Vista Grande High School.
