Welcome to my web site!  I am excited to be teaching here at Martin for my 4th year.  This year I will be teaching two sections of IPC and four sections of Chemistry.

A little about myself...I grew up mostly in west Texas.  I attended Texas Tech University (Get your guns up!) where I received my Bachelor of Science in Microbiology and minor in chemistry.  Before teaching I worked in medical and industrial laboratories as a microbiologist and chemist.  I have lived in Arlington since graduating from Tech.  I am married and have two boys.

ATTENTION IPC STUDENTS AND PARENTS - DON'T GET ZAPPED!

What is ZAP?  Zeros Aren’t Permitted (ZAP) is a program designed to increase expectations of IPC students who habitually, or occasionally, fail to complete and turn in homework assignments on time. The ZAP program is not a form of punishment rather a program to send the message that failure is not acceptable. For this program to be effective, all IPC staff has adopted the following policy: assignments must be completed in a timely manner. Failure to do so will result in the student being assigned an after school homework session because Zeros Aren’t Permitted (ZAP).  Please review the What Is ZAP Powerpoint located to the right.

There are two great resources that a parent can use to keep track of their child's progress.  One is In Touch, the internet grade book.  By checking In Touch regularly, you will be able to see immediately if your child is struggling, not turning in homework, or doing great in class.  If you see areas of concern, please have your child come in for tutoring before it becomes too late.   The other resource I have supplied is an IPC calendar of homework assignments, labs, and test dates.   I suggest that you print out the calendar and post it where you and your child can follow easily.  The dates are subject to change but you will have a good guideline to understand how much homework is being assigned and when tests are given.   If your child is still not performing at the level you feel is possible, please contact me immediately so we can work together to ensure success.
