Why I Teach

In my classes, excellence is encouraged, earned and rewarded. I attempt to teach an intersection of many topics so my students will evolve as learners.

On a personal level, I teach because it helps me to be a better student. On a professional level, I teach because we are living through a once-in-a-generation revolution in communication, commerce and the arts that is still in its infancy and will absolutely change the world as we know it. There will never be a better opportunity to learn, teach and share such an experience with such a passionate student body.
