About the Teacher 

About me:

My teaching career started in 1997 at Tyee High School in the Highline school district.  After 5 years there I transferred to Auburn Riverside then Auburn Mountainview when it opened in 2005.  Back in 2001, I started teaching part-time at Green River College (retired from Green River College at the end of 2019), typically I taught 1 to 2 evening classes per quarter.  I have taught remedial math, algebra, geometry, advanced algebra, pre-calculus, and calculus at the high school level.  At Green River, I taught beginning algebra, intermediate algebra, pre-calculus, math in society, and finite math.

Prior to being an educator I served in the United States Navy for eight years.  This included two years of training in Nuclear Power schools, three years on the USS Michigan (Trident submarine) as a"Nuke"  machinist mate, and three years as an instructor at the Nuclear Power Training Unit in Charleston, SC.

My education to become a teacher includes a Bachelors of Arts degree in Math Education at Central Washington University and a Masters of Arts degree in Math Education also through Central Washington University.

My hope is to provide a safe and friendly place for your student to learn math, and prepare them for a life after high school (whether it be college, trade school, armed forces, or the work force).
