About Me

A little about myself...

I was born in Rochester, NY in 1972 and moved to Houston, TX in 1978. I graduated from Cy-Fair HS in 1990 where I was a 4 year varsity letter-man in the sport of diving, earning all-state honors my senior year. I was awarded an athletic scholarship in the sport of Diving to Boston University and attended the university from 1990-1993 where I studied Aerospace Engineering. I joined the United States Air Force in 1995 and traveled the world working as an aircraft maintenance journeyman on U-2 spy planes. I left the Air Force in 1999 and moved to Austin, Tx to pursue a career in music (I play drums.) After playing in many successful bands and several national tours later, I decided to go back to school. I attended Texas State University and graduated Cum Laud with a degree in Mathematics in 2006. I have been teaching ever since and still can't believe how much I love my job. I have wonderful wife and two sons Cael and Dylan. In my free time I like to spend time with my family, skateboard, play drums, snowboard, fish, ride motorcycles, travel and be as active as possible.

This is my 19th year teaching mathematics at the high school level.

My mission is to instill in my students my passionate love of mathematics and how to be dedicated to life-long learning. Students in my courses will learn how to be creative, how to collaborate and communicate in order to produce workable solutions to real world problems arising from mathematical situations. I am looking forward to a great school year and working diligently with students and parents to ensure a safe and welcoming classroom environment while receiving extra-ordinary instruction in mathematics.
