About me

Welcome to my home on the Internet.

The 2020-2021 school year marks my 22nd year teaching math and yearbook at Valley Lutheran High School. This year, I teach, Honors Pre-Calculus, Advanced Placement Calculus AB, AP Calculus BC, Explorations in Math, and advise the Yearbook. I also serve as Director of Technology and as Registrar.

I hold a BA in Mathematics (1997) from Concordia University, Irvine, and a MAT in Mathematics (2009) from Northern Arizona University in Flagstaff.
