Music
I had the great fortune of realizing my passion for music from my calculus professor at Iowa State.
- I taught middle school vocal music for 5 years
- I have been a member of nearly every choir possible at Iowa State
- I love jazz and improvisation...it stirs me
- I played the trombone for about 15 years and now I'm merely an owner
- I struggle to find a specific genre of music that is my favorite because there is great music in all of it.
Education
I am deeply emotional about teaching and learning...much more-so than I ever realized
Cooking
My first (and only, so far) turducken!
My Mother and Father have been great cooks and I managed to pick it up
"Do not train a child to learn by force or harshness; but direct them to
it by what amuses their minds, so that you may be better able to
discover with accuracy the peculiar bent of the genius of each."
