About

I am a twenty-one year old second-year graduate student at WTAMU in Canyon, TX. I took an early interest in STEM, so my parents allowed me to begin community college at 15 years old, which in turn led to me becoming a graduate student at a very young age. I am studying mathematics with the intent to teach at the same community college where I discovered my passion for both math and teaching, but I am already blessed to be teaching dual-credit mathematics at a local private high-school.
I live in Lubbock, TX with my wife Cassie and our dog Dax. I get to teach high school in the mornings, assist at community college in the afternoons, and work on my studies in the evenings. I look forward to completing my degree so I can begin serving full time as an instructor at South Plains College where I started my journey six years ago.
