Biography
I enjoy teaching at Taylor because I can freely express my faith in my classes and I can teach the best subject in the world—physics! Taylor students are, in general, highly capable, highly motivated, and excellent students to work with. It is a real joy to teach them, to be with them, to know them, and see them move into their potential as scientists and engineers
Hobbies
Leading contemporary worship and playing bluegrass music
