TEACHING EXPERIENCE

I've taught high school mathematics for 30 years, including Honors Precalculus, College Algebra, Geometry, Algebra 1, Computer Programming (multiple languages) and Chess. Also worked full-time in the IT sector as a computer programmer and Web developer.

MY TEACHING STYLE

I like to keep things on the positive side with random humor, fun multimedia and wacky illustrations, while still infusing rigor and accountability in the class. My classroom is generally viewed as a place students look forward to coming to, even if math isn't a favorite of theirs.

HONORS/AWARDS/SHINING TEACHER MOMENT

• A team of my students won a state-wide mathematics competition. • Authored a book, "Success Secrets for Young Adults," available everywhere online • Mensa member (well, "former" member anyway, which May Or May Not correlate to not paying my annual dues...)

MY OWN EDUCATIONAL HISTORY

• B.S. Business and Marketing/Advertising, Arizona State University • M.Ed Secondary Education, Arizona State University

ADDITIONAL BIOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION

I play jazz trumpet professionally, having performed with Grammy-winning artists Natalie Cole, Tanya Tucker, The Four Tops, The Temptations, jazz great Joe Henderson, The Woody Herman Big Band and many others. Played to a packed house (as a sideman) at the Hollywood Bowl.
