...a student understands the material than getting them to put it in their own words! Beyond my passion for learning and teaching I'm a huge sports fan who rarely misses an Ohio State football or basketball game. I also grew up a die-hard Cincinnati Reds fan, and I love engaging in discourse about every and any sport. I also play the saxophone and guitar, which I often use to unwind after a long day.

I thus do my best to guide my students thinking processes, rather than tell them the answers. I spend most of my...
