I am a first generation college graduate of Brigham Young University-Idaho with a B.A. in Applied Mathematics. December of 2020 I will be finishing a Ph.D. in Computational and Applied Mathematics from Southern Methodist University. I can relate with students who struggle or feel underprepared for a course because I've been there, but I also know you can succeed, because I did. I have been tutoring or teaching in some compacity since 2009 as an undergraduate tutor, high-school math teacher, and online instructor. I love working with students and helping them reach their goals!

I spend most of my free time with my family. I have a lovely wife and 4 adorable children. When I do have free time I like to run while listening to my favorite fantasy author (Brandon Sanderson) on Audible. I also enjoy playing strategy board games and video games of all types. I spend evenings watching sci-fi and fantasy television or movies, and have been known to enjoy a good drama or chick-flick on occasion.
