I discovered homeschool co-ops and their desire for more STEM classes in 2015. In 2017, I started teaching approximately 90 homeschooled students at five different co-ops using a curriculum I developed from scratch. It has been many years since I could honestly say “I love my work”. I am so thankful to the Lord for leading me to these opportunities to teach subjects that I love.

Since I was about eight years old, I have loved everything to do with electricity and electronics. I had the privilege of taking Electronics Shop classes every year since seventh grade, eventually becoming a teacher’s assistant in high school. My interest in electronics also led me into Amateur Radio, which I have enjoyed since earning my FCC license while in middle school and eventually achieving the highest, “Extra” class license.

During my junior year in high school, my electronics teacher recommended me for an internship at Tektronix. That became the start of a professional career in the high-tech industry for over 20 years. Since graduating from Portland State University, I have held positions at all levels including highly technical, managerial, and executive positions as well as launching several businesses.

I first became involved with teaching in 1985 tutoring reading to a few elementary school students. When our first child began attending elementary school in Redmond, I often volunteered as a classroom assistant and field trip chaperon. When he joined Boy Scouts, I began teaching challenging, one-day intensive classes for both the Radio and Electronics Merit Badges using a curriculum I helped develop.

My wife and I have been married for over 34 years, and have two sons (26 and 18) and a rescue dog named Lily. We currently live in the Redmond area and attend Eastridge Church in Issaquah. I have been a Christian for about 40 years since growing up in a Catholic family in the Portland area and learning about — and believing in — God the Father, Jesus His Son, and the Holy Spirit for as long as I can remember. In 1983, as a young adult, I came to know the Lord and the redemption that we have through Jesus Christ, in a more personal way. I also believe that science complements our faith and provides us with tools we can use to explore and better understand God’s marvelous creation.
