What is your teaching style?
I value relationships in every area of life, especially in the classroom. I use my experiences in education and strength and conditioning to help form relationships with my students to assist in the transfer of knowledge and information.
Why do you do what you do?
We owe it to ourselves to seek development and improvement. It is a calling of mine to facilitate that development through teaching and coaching.
How do you make learning engaging?
This can be done through story telling and relating class material to the real world. Not only will this help them to relate to the content, but it will help them appreciate its practical application.
What should students know about you?
I am a nerd who works out, a strength coach who wears a lab coat, and someone who wishes to see everyone around him grow.
