Learning has always been an important and valued part of my family’s life.  I am the third generation of teachers in my family.   My husband was an elementary school teacher, and together we try to instill in our 3 children the importance of being a lifelong learner.  I love sharing with them how science is everywhere and in everything we do.  

As a family, we enjoy traveling and camping.  We have taken long road trips during the past few summers to tour the country.   I love visiting our country's national parks.  We have been visiting some each summer and this summer we reached our family goal of visiting all the national parks in the continental United States.  I have also done quite a bit of international travel and, believe it or not, I have been to Antarctica!  See phot

I am married and have 3 children with my husband.  Allison my oldest is in 11th grade,  Lillian is in 9th grade, and Clark is in 6th grade.
