Philosophy of Education: Every person in a classroom is a teacher and a learner. I love to put a hallowed business model up on the board and then watch in amazement as my students first master it and then improve upon it. I love it when students not only teach each other but also teach me. I swore off lecturing years ago. Everything in my class is interaction. I believe that out of chaos comes opportunity and understanding. Finally, I believe that humor and wit fuel the desire to learn.
