Bio

I hold a B.S. in Industrial and Operations Engineering from the #1 IE program in the world, the University of Michigan. Of course, that entails ridiculously advanced math, but along the way I discovered that I actually love to write! I believe that confidence in academics is critical. The arithmetic is rarely the challenge, but knowing that you’re applying the right approach to a problem is everything!

I hold a B.S. in Industrial and Operations Engineering from the #1 IE program in the world, the University of Michigan. Of course, that entails ridiculously advanced math, but along the way I discovered that I actually love to write! I believe that confidence in academics is critical. The arithmetic is rarely the challenge, but knowing that you’re applying the right approach to a problem is everything!

I am, first of all, a coach, and can confidently help students with writing, math and science. I am a former college athlete, coached youth sports for years and, as an Eagle Scout Advisor helped many young men get across the line! I am good at holding young people accountable when they've tuned out their parents:) I have taught larger teams, but really enjoy digging in one-on-one and unlocking how each individual approaches a concept.

I enjoyed a 40 year career leading sales teams for software firms. I successfully taught my people how to communicate effectively, especially with technical concepts, public speaking and persuasive writing. I’ve had my fill of global travel and 60 hour weeks, and I am thrilled to apply my communication skills to helping young people achieve their academic goals. If you have any questions for me, please just ask!

Elementary Math

Elementary Math

I have studied math through differential equations and matrix math. The key to elementary math is approaching the problem logically -- "what technique or rule is called for in this situation"? The calculations are easy, knowing the right approach is where confidence comes from.
Writing

Writing

My mom is a stickler for grammar, so despite being an engineer, I'm actually a very good writer. It's crucial to understand the "rules", but having "an ear" brings confidence to one's writing, especially on a tight timeline. I taught my kids to write well because their school was focused on other priorities. I've spent a career writing proposals, technical materials and helping adult colleagues "up their game".
