I am an Associate Professor in the Mathematics Department at Christopher Newport University.  I completed my graduate work at the University of New Hampshire and my undergraduate studies from Washington and Lee University.  I have also earned masters degrees at NC State and at the University of Virginia.  Before all this, I grew up in western New York State.

My research interests include nonlinear and chaotic dynamical systems.  I also genuinely enjoy teaching all levels of mathematics.  I am also a member of Project NExT (Red '15).

More of my professional information can be found in my vita.
