Hobbies
I have worked several years as a Lab Tech at the Naval Research Lab in the plasma physics division. I've also worked two years at Specialty Coating & Laminating as a Lab Tech - I'm currently the Quality Manager there. My formal education is highly technical, and while my career is taking a different route, I still have a general interest in mathematics, theoretical and applied. I spend a lot of time at the gym and going for runs around town. I also spend a lot of time cooking and eating out. Probably I spend so much time at the gym so that I can eat more. That being said, currently I'm focused more on work than anything else. Ultimately I'm tutoring for additional income, but I tutor instead of some other part time job because it is something that I enjoy. It helps me keep fundamental concepts fresh in my head, and it is great to see students perform better as I explain new concepts to them. Willing to help anyone with a desire to learn.
