I love mathematics, and I love teaching. Lifelong learning is an integral part of who I am. I believe that excellence is achieved when teachers share their ideas and expertise with others. This sharing among colleagues promotes professional development and provides the sharer the opportunity to gain from modifications and input from others. For these reasons, I welcome your comments, adaptations, concerns, etc. as I share some of my work with you. My e-mail is
