Additional Information
I am the UIL Math Academics Coach which I have been coaching for the past 28 years. I have been the UIL Science Academic Coach for the past 5 years. I have Coached many students and teams to Regional many years as well as a few to State. I love what I do and the students that I get to shape into productive adults. I have run into several former students and all of them tell me that they were able to do their job now because they had me as a math teacher. I showed them that math was not as difficult as they believed it to be, and therefore, they were able to pass their College Algebra class and get their degree. It is hard to believe that I have been doing this for 29 years, but the best part is the countless number of students that I have had the privilege of encouraging and teaching math.
