I have been teaching chemistry at Ventura College for the last 16 years. Before this, I taught at Allan Hancock College (Santa Maria, CA)  for five years and before that I taught at Cuesta College in San Luis Obispo for two years. Yes, that means I am old--as my kids like to point out.

Before all of this teaching, I got a MS in Chemistry at UC-Irvine focused on environmental chemistry, and before that I got a BS in Chemistry from Georgia Tech.

On the personal side, I grew up in Augusta, Georgia (mostly). I have two daughters who are 8 and 11 years old. I like to spend most of my free time hiking, biking and traveling.

Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions about my classes or the chemistry program at Ventura College
