  • Tell us something interesting about yourself that your students might not know.

    My wife and I have a three-year-old daughter and a bunny. Since my daughter keeps changing the bunny's name every day, I am not sure what his name will be when you see this post. I also love doing many things, but photography is probably my only hobby that has lasted for years.
