Hobbies
During the over 20 years of education experience, my primary goals have been to do whatever I can to help students be successful in, and come to realize the importance and beauty of the STEM subjects. My favorite subjects to teach (and learn) are physics and astronomy, with math and chemistry close behind. My personal hobbies are reading, watching movies, model kit building, with a focus primarily in science and science fiction. I also love listening to many forms of jazz, rock, and classical music. I spend the majority of my free time as the house dad to our 3 teenage sons. My wife and I are enjoy traveling and are looking forward to much more once the all three boys have graduated.
