Upon graduation from Troy University I began teaching high school mathematics and fell in love with teaching. Needless to say I had my share of mistakes but I believe the majority of my students graduated with a grasp of algebra, trigonometry, and geometry. From here I taught in junior high school and learned new methods of communicating with younger math students. Challenging but rewarding just the same. A position opened up for a part time professor at a local community college (now a State College) and so began over 40 years of college instruction in both the Business Division and the Mathematics Division. I worked around 60 hours each week in my full time job, but still found time to teach several classes each term. I remember so many of my students that tried so hard to grasp each concept and it was especially gratifying to know that I could spend a few minutes before or after class to help them. I sincerely hope I can help many students here as well.
