About Me

I’m a balding, 30-something science teacher in a small, rural school. I love astronomy, meteors, thoughtful music, Futurama, and my kids.

hello there

I wish for my students to excel and achieve beyond even their expectations, and I endeavor to make that happen every day by always being a motivator in their lives.  I love for students to take on science projects that really push them to grow, such as these guys rebuilding an old Argon laser (which I still have in my shed!).

!Now that\'s a science project!

That being said, I also find that sometimes we take ourselves too seriously. We all say dumb things. We all do dumb things. If we cannot laugh at ourselves, then we truly are miserable. I hope I can instill a sense of humor that borders on the indignant within the students who get it — and by ‘get it’, I mean in the sense of MST3K.

Thank you for taking time to read my blog.
