That same year, Mr. Sanchez and Nicole welcomed their first child, Colten. In December of 1998, Mr. Sanchez graduated from UNC with a BA Mathematics. Just a few short months later, him and Nicole welcomed their second child, Breanna.
 
Mr. Sanchez began his educator career at St. Michael's High School in Santa Fe, New Mexico. He taught there for the 1990-2000 school year teaching pre-Algebra, Algebra, and Geometry. It was an amazing experience. At the end of the school year, him and Nicole decided to move to Seattle, WA.

In 2017, Breanna graduated from high school and moved to California. With their son in California also, Mr. Sanchez and Nicole decided it was time to come home and move back to Pagosa Springs. In the fall of 2017, both have returned home and are excited to begin a new chapter in their lives.
