"I count it a joy and a privilege to be your son or daughter's Biology or AP Environmental Science [APES] teacher this year. It is my wish that your child will find this class enjoyable yet challenging. I believe that Biology is the "best" subject and will strive to approach each class session with enthusiasm."

"The most meaningful part of my life is my relationship with God. I know that my faith has been strengthened by my understanding that the wonders of nature were produced by our great Creator God. I pray that I may help my students to gain a sense of wonder of nature and of God who created all of those wonders."

He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. For by him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things were created by him and for him. .He is before all things, and in him all things hold together. Colossians 1:15-17
