Biography
I grew up in Price, Utah, attended Carbon High, College of Eastern Utah, Utah State University. I am married and have four children. I am an automotive instructor at USU Eastern.
Teaching Interests
Since 2016 my teaching load has become more technical and I have realized that teaching students how to learn is my main teaching focus. With learing how to learn is my focus, I use it to my advantage by teaching the basic principles well and verifying the students understand the basics because problem solving involves stems from the basics and our creative minds.
