About Me

I am a person who sees the beauty of God's creation and magnificent order in all places, especially in engineering, where order is key. All the formulas that we use in our field are set by our loving Creator and being on a journey where you learn and teach these orderly formulas and equations gives immense joy. I love my students and I try my best to let them see the beauty in what they learn so they get excited and energized, and see that engineering can become a vocation, not just a career.

Why I’m At Mary

The University of Mary is a very unique place. It is the place where faith and reason are united, joined, and grow together. It is also the place where the human is formed to become what God wants him/her to be. The community at Mary is unparalleled in its love for each other and unity together.
