Some people are just meant to be teachers, and I am one of them. I enjoy spending my days with teenagers and seeing their growth and maturation over the course of the year. Although the classroom has its particular energy, I find particular satisfaction in working one on one with students; the moment when the concept breaks through and I see the look of relief and pride on my student’s face is priceless. I chose math because I’m drawn to absolutes; I like knowing that there is a correct answer to the problem we are facing. I live outside of Philadelphia with my wife and three kids, all under six years old. When not teaching, I enjoy running and cheering for the Eagles.
