UNM-G Students Teaching Excellence Committee Fifth Grade Math Challenge Teaching Materials Visit Gallup About Me

Hello and Thank You for coming to my site. It is truly a constant work in progress.

I grew up and graduated high school in Dunkirk, New York, a small city in the western part of New York.

I went on to college but dropped out to join the army. After spending four years in the military (Gulf War Veteran) I was honorably discharged in 1992.

I was able to continue my education while stationed at Fort Carson and graduated from the University of Colorado in 1992. In that same year I became a volunteer in the Peace Corps and taught for three and one half years in Ghana.

Upon my return from Africa in 1996 I came out to New Mexico. I began a master's program and started teaching at Gallup High School. I was also a part time faculty member here until 2003 when I was hired as a full time faculty member.

I currently teach in two departments: Transitional Studies Department and the Mathematics and Science Department.

I love my family, teaching, and of course MATH!!
