COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT:

UNIQUELY EUREKA EXPERIENCE:
I love watching students progress during their time at Eureka. At other, larger schools, it can be hard for faculty to get to know students, but at Eureka, we make close connections and we can easily see a student grow over the course of their studies.
ABOUT:
I live with my wife and daughter. I enjoy cooking, reading, watching movies, and writing personal information about myself.
