Message to Students
and/or Parents:		 My approach to education is to encourage passion and excitement about learning. No one can know to much. The more you know, the better choices in life we all can make. I empower students to determine the answers themselves while I show them the way. At the same time, I believe it is important to not only provide understanding of the details, but how those details fit into the bigger picture. As the old saying goes, you can't see the trees for the forest; I attempt to provide an understanding of why and how the forest is made, one tree at a time.
