Paul Chavez, 6th/7th Grade English
Mr. Chavez was born and raised in San Francisco, CA, where he developed a love for sports, history, and reading. He studied History Education and Constitutional Studies at Utah Valley University, where he also founded and led a refugee support club. After teaching history and government for several years, he embarked on a cross-country walk for peace in 2020, then later served in law enforcement with Utah’s Adult Probation & Parole. He stepped away from that role to care for his beloved mother during her final months and now lives in California with his wife Camilla and their newborn daughter, Emyriam Maria. Fire enjoys hiking, breathwork, and meaningful time with family and friends—and believes in living a life of service and purpose.
