CV
I teach Intro Microbiology and Human Anatomy and Physiology at Wichita State University. In my extra time, I also hold MCAT Biology Prep Sessions, teach a Physics lab now and then and when I'm not teaching, I'm usually working on my house or my Dad's 1965 Ford Galaxie 500. Also, I'm a huge baseball fan, especially the Texas Rangers. All three of my kids are named after legendary Hall of Fame Pitcher, Nolan Ryan.
