Since 2002, I’ve been a full-time chemistry instructor at Central New Mexico Community College in Albuquerque, NM. I’m also a Ph.D. candidate in Learning Sciences at the University of New Mexico. My STEM education research, which I frequently write about and present, blends practitioner and researcher roles and focuses on assessment and evaluation, specifically ungrading, ethics in assessment, and critical quantitative methodologies.

I live and play with my wife Karen, my son Jack, and my dog Sammy in Albuquerque, NM.

Why I’m in MYFest
