History Established in 2012. My son Jake, a Stanford grad and I developed the business plan for Starfire Education when he came home to Maine for a few weeks in the summer before his graduation in 2012. In 2012 my wife, Beppie and I moved to San Carlos, CA and I launched Starfire Education as an In-Home Tutoring Service. My sister-in-law, Joy Weintz introduced me to Aarti Chanda who is the PTO co-chair of after school programs at Oak Knoll School. Aarti asked if I could do a math after school program for Oak Knoll kids. I said yes, and we started the program Fall 2013. From there we have expanded our math after school program to schools in Palo Alto and Los Altos. This summer we are offering a math, science, art, and coding program at Addison School in Palo Alto.
I grew up in a household where learning and teaching is highly valued. My mom went to Stanford and my Dad to Cal Berkeley, Harvard and Stanford. My dad has been a professor for almost 60 years. When I was in high school he would sit with me, my three brothers and sister and have us explain our math homework to him every night.My wife Beppie, a Stanford grad and I are the proud parents of four children who are graduates of Colorado College, Princeton, Stanford and University of Colorado at Boulder with Honors.I graduated from Cal Berkeley with a BA and also have an MBA. After a long career in retail and a shorter one in finance I decided to follow my passion for learning and working with kids and entered the tutoring business with the goal to help kids develop the skills they need to experience success and enjoy learning. I find mentoring and tutoring kids to be extremely rewarding and founded Starfire Education with the mission to ignite kids interest in learning math and science.
