I have 28 years of experience teaching multiple sciences at the secondary level, and I am the Science Department Chairman for Carlisle ISD. I regularly present workshops and training sessions to other teachers across Texas and the United States. I enjoy photography, playing musical instruments, racing triathlons, working with renewable energy sources, and spending time with my family.
