Courses: HONORS and REGULAR Geometry Thank you for visiting my teacher web page! To make a very long story somewhat shorter, I graduated from the University of Missouri - Rolla with a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering a LONG, LONG TIME ago (as the song goes!), and worked as a project engineer at Dow Corning Corporation in Midland, Michigan for 2 years. After being transferred to their Cincinnati, Ohio manufacturing facility (where I worked for another 5 years or so), I accepted a position as a regional sales representative for a small equipment distributor in Cincinnati, and ultimately moved to St. Louis to help with a start-up of a satellite office. Feeling unfulfilled and unchallenged, I decided to switch careers and explore the teaching profession. I accepted a position with the Construction Careers Center Charter High School (located in downtown St. Louis), where I worked for seven years as a math and science teacher, teaching everything from basic "construction math" skills to Introduction to Engineering...never can a student ask me, "how am I gonna use this stuff" without getting an earful of real, practical applications! On a personal note, I've been married to an incredibly understanding and tolerant woman (Diane) for 29 years, and have 3 terrific children (Luke is 19 and a sophomore at Belmont University in Nashville, David is 21 and is in his senior year at Fordham University in New York, and Brian is 25, married, and working for Apple Corp. in Bethesda, Maryland... This is my 10th year of teaching at St. John Vianney, and I'm looking forward to another successful year...it's a great day to be a Griffin! |
