Personal Biography Statement

I came to teaching through my job years ago as a craps dealer. I used to assist my mentor in his lessons to new dealers. After graduating with two degrees in mechanical engineering, and with no desire to be an engineer, I knew my place was in a classroom.

My goal as an instructor is to expose the fun in math, and to demystify the subject for those who have fear or trepidation for math. I believe everyone can work within a mathematical framework successfully; we do so every day, albeit subconsciously. Math can and should be enjoyable; it helps us make sense of the world and of our part in it.
