Biography
Starting in fall 2016, I'm a lecturer in the math department at UTA. I completed a Ph.D. in math (Combinatorics, under Miklos Bona) at the University of Florida in 2005, and since that time I've been lucky enough to be continuously employed in various teaching appointments, from high schools to community colleges to state colleges to large universities. In my spare time I make music, wooden furniture, and bread.
