About

I love my job teaching students, but it goes beyond mathematics. It is rewarding to see people mature from incoming freshmen to graduating seniors, and to see how God develops them spiritually. Teaching is valued within my department and across Taylor so that it becomes a community activity where we are all growing and learning together. Moreover, I am free to integrate Christianity with mathematics and other areas. I have wonderful students and colleagues who share the joys as well as the disappointments, as we learn more about ourselves and develop our relationships with God.
