Throughout my career, whether in the cockpit of a US Naval jet or working on strategies for an asset allocation modes, I actively use math everyday. My love of math is profound and my three Honor Roll children are shining examples. I have formally and informally tutored hundreds of pupils for 35+ years and believe that students need to understand concepts rather than memorize them.

...Extension and became a middle school math teacher. One of my instructional approaches that has resonated with both parents and students is to integrate students' lives into classroom content.

...my students. I also believe that there is too much emphasis on speed in calculation or solution. I like to emphasize the importance of logic and understanding rather than speed or rote memorization.

I love yoga and practice regularly. In my...

...as big as knowing exactly what they want to do one day and working as hard as they can to achieve it.

It is always exciting to watch a young student develop a love of learning or master a subject that they struggle with, and it feels very rewarding for the both of us when it finally "clicks"!

I always hold my students and myself accountable, expecting a reasonable amount of progress over a period of time from...

...and teaching is one of the most fulfilling activities I have performed in my life. I have been told by former students that I am a good listener and an easy person to relate to.
