About: When I'm not teaching my middle school students how to work through design problems or improve their products, I'm out and about. I don't spend much time at home because I'd rather be admiring nature through hiking, playing tennis with my friends, or eating at local restaurants to support our community. I love traveling and spending time in other countries to learn how others live life and my goal is to see the whole world; I've visited 16 countries so far. I typically look for the silver-lining in life and photograph it along the way.
