Interesting Info:
I had a career of nearly 20 years in the computer industry before pursuing my first love of mathematics again. Reeducating myself was a tremendous risk, costing a lot of time, energy and money. But doing something worthwhile (molding young minds with the subject I love) is more rewarding than what I lost to get here.

August 31, 2000: Received outstanding high school teacher award in UC San Diego's Teacher Recogition Program.
