When I'm not at Belmont, life revolves around my family. Although my primary expertise is in graph theory, I have a great interest in projects that bring together multiple disciplines (mathematics, computer science and biology. I taught three years at Wake Forest University before coming to the Mathematics and Computer Science department at Belmont.Īmong my favorite pastimes is working with students and other faculty, learning together through research projects (and other diversions).

A love for teaching led me back to mathematics in which I have my M.S. in religion from Samford University followed by graduate studies in theology at The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. My educational background is varied having a B.A. I joined the Belmont faculty in 1997 teaching courses in graph theory, discrete mathematics, statistics and more recently mathematical inquiry and an introduction to computer science. I like reading non-fiction, following the Oakland Athletics, following the stock market and trying to be healthy and fit. Outside of school, I enjoy spending time with my wife Christy, our little dog Sophie and our two rabbits, Maggie and Joey. It doesn't matter to me as long as it's math! I've taught most every course in the standard college mathematics curriculum, from remedial mathematics up to directing master's theses. My research interests are in differential equations, and anything related to differential equations, such as measure theory and set-valued analysis. I believe God brought me to Belmont and wants me to share the mathematical skills he gave me with others, and it is a joy to do so. I love being here and being part of the Christian tradition of Belmont and its devotion to students. I joined the faculty at Belmont in the fall of 2008. After that, I moved to Western Kentucky University and served 19 years. in mathematics from Vanderbilt University, I worked at Nichols Research Corporation in Huntsville, Alabama from 1986 to 1989.
