When not teaching or doing math, I enjoy being outdoors - skiing, hiking, paddling, gardening, etc.

Teaching

As a faculty member at a small liberal arts college, I have the opportunity to teach a wide variety of courses, ranging from first-year seminars to advanced mathematics classes. I regularly teach the ordinary and partial differential equations courses, as well as the multivariable calculus course.

Students enrolled my current classes should have received an invitation to a Google Classroom site; if not, contact me.

Scholarship

Most of my current mathematical work involves studying problems in geometric analysis by analyzing associated partial differential equations. Most problems I consider are related to mathematical relativity.
