Goals
Updated: August 2023
In 2024, I plan to begin pursuing National Board Certification in the area of Mathematics - Adolescence & Young Adulthood (AYA). My goal is to be finished in the summer of 2025.
I will continue to pursue the Presidential Award for Excellence in Mathematics & Science Teaching (PAEMST). As you can see above, I have failed in my pursuit on three occasions. My goal is to continually improve every day.
I love presenting at conferences. My goal is to speak at the NCTM Annual Conference or Regional Conference sometime in the next 3 years. [UPDATE: I met my goal by presenting at the NCTM Regional conference in Seattle (Feb. '24)]
Hobbies
I love...
spending time with my wife and four children.
playing basketball, golf, board games, and video games.
coaching my children in their various activities.
