Episode 9: PJ Monica

This week’s guest is PJ Monica—a world traveler, mountain biker, surfer, and educator with a passion for shaping young minds and preserving the soul of his hometown. After years of exploring the world, PJ returned home with a clear mission: to create a better classroom experience than the one he grew up with and to help students connect with the world through hands-on learning. In this episode, PJ shares how he finds balance by ripping trails on his mountain bike, enjoying a beer at Duarte’s, or chasing waves on the coast. We talk about the unique bike repair class he created at his school, designed to teach kids the value of working with their hands—and their hearts. It’s a story about coming home, making change, and living fully. Fall in love with Half Moon Bay through PJ’s eyes. Tune in.
