Keep close to Nature's heart...and break clear away, once in awhile, and climb a mountain or spend a week in the woods. Wash your spirit clean.

I teach because my Grandfather told me once, "If you love what you do, you'll never work a day in your life." I teach because I love surrounding myself with others who have the same desires as I do to grow, learn, experience, explore, and be challenged. I feel incredibly blessed to have the opportunity to be part of higher education because I believe in the endless possibilities it grants. I have met people from such vast diverse backgrounds, beliefs, experiences, and needs who all seem to have one thing in common: They all have a desire to live well or simply live better. Education allows all of us to obtain a better life for our families or ourselves. To be part of this bigger picture is what I love about teaching.
