Experience
15+ years of instructor experience in the US Navy and civilian sector. I am interested in teaching/tutoring tomorrow's leaders and innovators. My previous duty in the US Navy was as an instructor at the Department of Defense's only medical school. I am a combat medic by trade, but employed my prowess by teaching leadership, communication, tactics, applied physiology, and combat medicine to future doctors of medicine. My position was particularly unique; although I was the instructor, my students were commissioned officers -- and therefore outranked me. This was crucial as professionalism and tact were paramount on campus. I have always loved teaching, and recently discovered my passion for mathematics. I was originally going to school for biochemistry, but once I took Calculus-1, I switched majors and finished my Associate of Science in Mathematics. Further chasing the rabbit down the hole, I discovered another passion for computers, and finished my Bachelor of Arts in Computer Science. All the while, I have tutored on the side and continued pursuing personal growth. I love the impact that teachers and tutors have, and the feeling of satisfaction when someone fully grasps a concept is insurmountable.

Hobbies
I have a personal library of mathematics and computer science books. My admiration for the two is incredibly strong. I tutor my peers and subordinates at work, because I also have a true passion for instruction. In my free time, I study for various computer-related certifications; e.g. PenTest+, CISSP-ISSEP.
