A Berkeley graduate who worked to receive his MBA, and who now looks to obtain his masters at Stockton, Mr. Gill’s successes go beyond just his academic accomplishments. Mr. Gill creates a learning environment that welcomes all and encourages students to put their best foot forward.

Growing up with immigrant parents, Mr. Gill often looked to his teachers for extra guidance and help in school. His experience of having dedicated teachers throughout his youth inspired him to provide the same for his students. Accordingly, he makes an effort to build bonds with the students to allow for a positive learning environment Mr. Gill discusses his ambitions for his career at Knolls passionately stating, “ I’m looking forward to immersing myself in the community and making a difference in students’ lives!” 

Although he always admired his teachers and mentors at a young age, his passion for teaching sparked later in life. He loved the experience of coaching youth sports and wanted to extend  his interest. His wife also works as a teacher; which made him consider it more.

He is a very good teacher with very good ethics.”
