Teaching Style
Do a basic overview of the tools or program that is being learned and then provide projects with a start and end point. These will allow you to figure out what you may need to do and as you increase your skill sets, I will give you just the finished project to design yourself. This will improve your skills in replicating, finding and using the right tools and reducing time and stress.
My Hobbies
Enjoy watching sports and playing sports like baseball, softball , extreme frisbee, wiffle ball, and KanJam.
I am also into the new technology and gadgets that are being introduced within the 3D Printing and Electronic industries.
