The 2016-2017 school year marks my 25th year of teaching mathematics. The first four years I spent teaching at my alma mater, Elyria High School. From there, I spent 2 years teaching high school mathematics and serving as a tutor for at-risk students at Medina Buckeye High School.  I followed that with teaching Algebra and Geometry for four years at Medina High School. Finally, I moved to Madison during the 2002-03 school year, serving the students at Madison Middle School for the past 15 years.
