Nathan Riquino

Hola! My Name is Nathan Riquino! I live in Minneola with my wife Kristen and our three kids, Gabi, Kai, and Koa. We moved to Florida in 2019 from Hilo, Hawaii – you will usually see me wearing a Hawaiian shirt most school days. I enjoy spending time with family, going to the beach, and watching movies. I love all things Star Wars! I was born in Salt Lake City, Utah and raised in Westerville, Ohio.  I have family all across the US and Brazil. I started my teaching career in 2004. I have a bachelors degree in Spanish from the University of Utah. I also have masters degrees in elementary teacher education and Administration & Supervision from the University of Phoenix.

My favorite part of the day is 7:49 a.m.; the quiet moment before school starts and learning begins. My dream vacation is North Shore, Oahu, Hawaii. I could eat pizza every single day. Hobbies include wood working and RC cars.
