Originally from Michigan, I've lived in Plano for 25 years.  I married my college sweetheart and we have two sons in college.  Prior to teaching, I've worked in scientific research and hospital administration.  Outside of school, I enjoy traveling, photography and watching college football (Go Blue and Hook 'em!).  My hope is that my students learn an appreciation for the incredible diversity and unity of our natural world while preparing for college-level rigor.
