I am passionate about the broad implications and applications of the Science, Math, and Engineering in our daily lives - and enjoy teaching them to my own kids. Towards this end, I also want to leverage my 20+ years in graduate and post-doctoral science/engineering research, past undergraduate level teaching/tutoring experience in physics, math, geophysics, and scientific computation, along with 10+ years of scientific programming & system administration experience towards STEM tutoring/mentoring at school to college level.

I love landscape photography. I love going on long hiking and camping trips in the backcountry with my family - its a time of reflection for all of us. I enjoy swimming, long distance (road) biking. I love to learn about different cultures and cuisines.
