Resume

I come to teaching after a full life exploring many different fields. In addition to my teaching experience, I have worked as a project manager, a sales system administrator, and a soldier in the US Army. I’ve had the opportunity to travel to over two dozen countries. I plan to use this breadth of experience to help students see what they can do if they try.
