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.
My wife and I have been married for 49 years. We have 5 kids (4 of whom are Taylor grads), and 13 grandchildren. I lead "contemporary" worship. For hobbies, I play bluegrass music.
