About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Trying to figure out my new job

ABOUT ME

By day, I teach high school physics and the occasional chemistry, math or general science course. By night, I work on and off stage in a variety of bay area theatres. Someday, I would like to be the artistic director of a major regional theatre. But until then, I will have to try to raise the next generation of critical thinkers and problem solvers. I am opinionated but I am not particularly vocal about my opinions. I wish I was taller but I have yet to find a way to solve that problem. I like Mediterranean food and Indian food.

PHILOSOPHY

Take responsibility.
Learn new things.
Have fun.
Love the challenge.
