About The Teacher

I earned Bachelor and Master of Science degrees in Electrical Engineering 
and Computer Science from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

After college, I enjoyed a long and rewarding career in the technology 
industry, first as a product development engineer, and then in various 
marketing and management positions.  

More recently, hoping to inspire kids to share my love for math, science and 
technology, I went back to school to receive my teacher certification.  

I live in Evanston with my wife, Margaret, and our two sons, Ian (18) and 
Evan (8).  My hobbies include reading, travel, hiking, food and music.

Mission For The Class

To bring science concepts to life using real-world examples, demonstrations  
and experiments.  Physics is the foundation for all the other sciences, and 
helps explain much of what we observe on a daily basis.  My aim is to make 
physics fun and understandable for everyone.
