Experience
My professional pedagogic career spans over a decade. I have taught at the elementary school level and at the collegiate level. As such, I have always concurrently been a tutor. I created a literacy program at a church in my community which serves children, adults, and seniors. We tutor folks based on their needs. Some people may want to learn to read, while others may want assistance filling in an employment application, or a senior may need assistance understand a utility bill.

Hobbies
I have a myriad of hobbies. As an RF Audio Engineer as well, I provide sound reinforcement for musicians from a broad range of genres. I have been on the RF teams of: Taylor Swift, U2, Kenney Chesney, Beyoncé, New Direction, Wynton Marsalis, Snoop Dog and the list goes on. In addition, I enjoy sports ( both active and spectator), traveling, cooking, and gardening. I think that tutoring can only be effective if it is fun, and the subjects are juxtaposed with the students interest and the real world. I am interested in leaving the World a little bit better than I found it, and firmly believe that education is paramount to my goal. Teaching is truly an art, and I have dedicated my career to perfecting my craft.
