I am very happy with our experience so far with Varsity Tutors. They matched my daughter with reading specialist Mary and she is wonderful! My 10 year old daughter feels happy after her sessions and believes her tutor has already helped her.

Certified Tutor

The older I get, the stronger my love of learning has become. As such, I have developed a real passion to help others develop a real love for learning. I began my education at the University of Utah and then transferred to Wayne State University where I was offered a full ride athletic scholarship to fence on their NCAA Division 1 Fencing team where we won 4 consecutive NCAA National Championships. During this time I attended Georgia State as a transient student for a summer semester. Ultimately I graduated from Wayne State with a BBA in finance. Later I went to a smaller liberal arts University, Argosy University where I got my MBA in marketing. Currently Im pursing a DBA in organizational behavior. Ultimately, my real love is Portuguese. I studied Portuguese when I was 20 and then went on to live in Brazil for 2 years where I spent most of my time never seeing a single English speaking individual. When I can home I took the Foreign Service Institute exam and scored "native". During my time at the University of Utah a took 35 hours of Portuguese studying the actual Brazilian text books used in the Brazilian public school system. I worked for a time as a translator for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints translating for their world wide broadcasts. I have an enduring love of the language and the Brazilian Culture.

My other educational passions are driven by my 40 year career in the restaurant & hospitality industry. I have an absolute passion for marketing (studying the works of prominent contributors such as Edward Bernay's), Entrepreneurship (having lead several start up ventures) and leadership/business management (a lost art in todays business, work and political world.

Im married almost 37 years now and have I have 4 wonderful children that my wife home-schooled K-12. They lead very successful lives. One owns his own multi-media marketing firm, one has culinary degree working in the restaurant industry following in her father's foot steps, one has a culinary degree, changed careers and is finishing a masters in psychology and applying for the PhD program at John's Hopkins in neural psychology. And my youngest, is a professional dancer and choreographer and professionally coaches and competes in the sport of body building.

At the end of the day I love teaching and coaching others and watching them not just succeed but actually thrive in their passionate pursuits. I look forward to working with each and every one of you and watching you thrive!
