Currently I'm employed at the Louisiana School for Math, Science and the Arts, Natchitoches, LA and I'm beginning my 8th year teaching as a Professor of Chemistry.

I try to keep busy with a little bit of everything. Some of my most recent professional endeavors:

• Science Demonstrations Outreach
• Summer 2006 – LSU/CBM², Electrodeposition synthesis of bimetallic nanotubes with Dr. E. Podlaha, poster
• Summer 2002-current - Chemistry Instructor at ADVANCE Program

Contrary to what most people think of teachers around here, I do have a life other than Chemistry, LSMSA, etc. I enjoy playing pool (for pleasure or money), playing guitar, hiking, camping, biking, snow skiing, music, reading Civil War history, and Aviation (I’m a pilot).

This web page will be under continual construction as I add more links. I guess this gives me one more thing to add to my list of "Things to update". And I thought that technology was supposed to make our lives more efficient so that we would have more leisure time.
