Biography
Teaching at Taylor is a real blessing. TU is large enough that I am able to focus on my area of specialization, analytical chemistry, but small enough that I am able to be actively involved in the TU community outside the classroom. Taking my young kids to athletic events is a staple of our weekend activities. This interaction between TU students and my family is what continually reinforces our decision to move to Taylor.
Hobbies
Running, soccer, reading, and music
