Experience
I'm from the corn and soybean fields of Indiana; I'm a Hoosier, we're known for being personable and hard-working. I'm the youngest from an Air-Force family of 7, so I'm an excellent listener and I'll be focused on how you learn. I'm a highly technical dude, but I specialize in taking imposing subjects and bringing them down to earth. If you want to do calculus, you can do calculus; I promise. I want to be a tutor because I'm passionate about math, education, and helping people. My calculus teacher in high school was Mr. Schroeder, who made calculus (which I'd heard about from my siblings as being an ominous, terribly difficult subject) into kindergarten. He made doing it simple and (can I even say this?) fun. That's my target. Relevant classes I've taken: Calculus I, II, III Linear Algebra Abstract Algebra Discrete Mathematics I work as a software engineer, and my coworkers love having me on their team because I'm lively, make people laugh, and can handle tech.

Hobbies
