This is my 33rd year of teaching high school math! I consider it a privilege to invest in the lives of young people and I love teaching math. Great satisfaction comes from seeing my students grow and develop throughout the year. When I am not teaching I enjoy traveling, hiking and biking. A dream vacation would be hiking the great National Parks in the US. I am a transplant from Iowa and have lived in Texas for 35 years. However, in the middle of summer it's a sure bet I will be driving a tractor through a field and working on the farm in Iowa. I don't have any children but my two dogs Gracie and Ollie keep things interesting at my house!
