I received my BA in geology from the University of Colorado and my MS in geology from the University of Delaware. My research focused on the use of amino acids as a method of geochronolgical dating using gas and liquid chromatography. Before becoming a teacher, I worked in geologic consulting, but I didn’t find that very fulfilling and eventually decided to become a teacher. I teach Chemistry, Advanced Topics and Earth Science. I am married, have a one year old daughter and a menagerie of furry pets. In my free time, I enjoy photography, a variety of sports and going to the dog park.
