The wonder of the universe has permeated my life from the beginning.  From observing wildlife as a young child to studying science in college.  I have a BS degree in science from UTSA.  I have been teaching science for over 10 years.  I actually spend some of my free time learning about fields that I find interesting.  From modern physics discoveries to exploring for life outside of Earth.   I love most fields of science and incorporate it into many of my hobbies.  For example, like most people, I collect ants.  I have several ant farms that contain native speices of Texas.  All of my ant colonies were started from a single queen.  I am very hopeful that my love of science (and of learning) will be impressed upon students.  I also enjoy several outdoor activities, especially fishing.
