Here is a bit about me for those who want to learn more before contacting me about visiting your school.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I was born and raised in Indianapolis, Indiana.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I went to college at The Citadel, the military college of South Carolina where I studied Electrical Engineering and trained to be in officer in the United States Navy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After graduation from The Citadel, I spent 11 years in the Navy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After my first tour of duty on the USS Sample, I reported to Monterey, California for postgraduate school. I studied Electrical Engineering and Space Systems Engineering and prepared to become an Engineering Duty Officer. I graduated with a Masters in Electrical Engineering (with Space Systems Engineering).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I served for five more years in the United States Navy and left to become an engineer and manager in the defense industry. During this time, I become a UNIX administrator and Cisco Router engineer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I left the defense industry to become the Information Technology infrastructure manager at the Indianapolis Star Newspaper. Here I learned more about information technology and also studied and practiced the Deming Management Method.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After six years at the Indianapolis Star, I discovered that I could use my avocation as a semi-professional musician to audition for a military reserve band and finish my retirement playing my Trombone. I joined the 38th infantry band.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With the benefits of a military retirement in my future, I realized that I would be able to achieve a lifelong dream and become a teacher. I spent 18 months in a transition to teacher program and began an 18 year career as a classroom teacher.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I have taught every Math and Physics classes offered in my schools from 6th grade through AP Statistics, AP Calculus, IB Math and IB physics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In 2022, I graduated from teaching to pursue a new passion to train teachers in the latest and best practices for teaching mathematics. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This brings us to the present day. If you need professional development for teachers in Math Education or would like to talk to me about a larger role as a curriculum developer, math coach and intervention specialist, send me an e-mail and lets talk about how I can use my management teaching experience to help you get on a continual improvement process and build a stronger math program at your school.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
