Welcome, and thank you for taking the time to visit my personal page. I am a teacher of mathematics and a lover of learning. I spent many years in the general labor workforce performing heavy construction, landscaping, hanging drywall, and grounds maintenance. Now I bring what I know about the practical use and application of math into the classroom and help my students to see, and hopefully experience, the connections between what the schools tell them they need to know and the real-world implications of something as simple as drawing a triangle. My biggest classroom goal is for each of my students to become curious, lifelong learners. I want them to look out a window, see a shape in a building, and then question, investigate, and understand its relevance to their life, as well as the world around them. Being a high-poverty school, funding is limited. Any contribution is greatly appreciated.
