Hi! My name is Joe Merchant.  I have lived in San Marcos since 1992 when I came here to attend Southwest Texas State (now Texas State).  It is has been my privilege to teach math and science for the last 10 years.  In my spare time I like to spend time with my family. My wife and I have been married for 21 years.  She is a special education teacher at DeZavala.  I have two sons.  My oldest son Joe is a student at Rice University and Luke is a senior at the high school.

I love teaching and am looking forward to a wonderful school year.
