Biography
I was drawn to math because of its ability to crossover with many other disciplines like physics or astronomy. Currently, I lead the Abstract Algebra Club and coordinate the Undergraduate Honors Research Program for Math. Outside of teaching, I enjoy keeping my old Volkswagens running. Ask me about my love for The Three Stooges.
