I have taught middle school for 14 years (my whole career) and have specialized in Science Education for the last 9 years. I have a strong background in science and working with diverse learners, especially English-as-Second-Language learners. I'm also very comfortable teaching elementary and middle grades math and reading.
I'm also a part-time musician in my free time and have played both drums and guitar since 1994. I'm a dad, too, to a very energetic 20-month-old daughter. I enjoy the outdoors and try to spend much of my free time on my bike or out running with my family.
