I teach many kinds of math classes, with a focus on Geometry and Calculus. I also teach about the science of space and related technologies, to include orbital mechanics, launches, and radar fundamentals.

I taught high school math for 5 years, developed math curriculum for 7 years, and currently work as a radar operator for near-earth satellite observation.

My philosophy of teaching can be summed up in the phrase, "there are no dumb questions." I want to inspire people to be life-long learners and always ask questions. Part of this is being humble enough to know when you don't have the answer. The biggest take-away from a productive learning session with me is the ability to feel what it's like to search for an answer and find what works. I'm not afraid to say "I don't know" - as long as I follow it up with "let's find out!"

Overall, I'm just a big nerd and very in touch with aesthetics and perspective. I'm that dude that looks up at the sky during a tough run and verbally marvels at the beauty of the colors and clouds. I also love to study movie soundtracks and listen for the composer's intent for scenes. And what would life be like without great comedic timing and dad jokes, whether it's with my own kids or my coworkers? All in all, I love all the small moments in life that make things interesting.
