With 30 years of teaching experience and being a graduate of Trine University (Tri-State University), I am deeply committed to the academic and personal growth of my students. My long-standing connection with the university allows me to bring a unique perspective to my teaching, combining a deep understanding of the institution's values with a passion for mathematics.

I focus on making mathematics accessible, engaging, and relevant, encouraging my students to develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills. My teaching philosophy is rooted in the belief that mathematics is not just a subject but a way of thinking that can be applied to various aspects of life.

Beyond the classroom, I enjoy traveling, playing the guitar, and spending time with my wife and kids. These interests enrich my life and help me connect with my students on a personal level, fostering a supportive and inspiring learning environment.

As an educator and lifelong learner, I continuously seek to enhance my teaching methods, integrating new technologies and pedagogical approaches to provide the best possible education for my students.
