A word about me...
I was born and and grew up in Deep Gap, NC. I attended Appalachian State University where I majored in Philosophy. While at ASU, I met and married Sherrell Brown, who was an out-of-state student from West Columbia. She is currently the librarian at Nursery Road Elementary School.
I have been teaching high school math since 1986. Over the years I have taught General Math II, Algebra I Part 2, Algebra I & II, Geometry, Pre-Calculus, Data Analysis, Introduction to Calculus, AP Calculus (AB & BC), IB Math (Studies, SL, and HL), Physics, and IB Theory of Knowledge. I taught at Irmo High School from '95 to '99, and I have been back at IHS since 2005. I have two children who attended Nursery Road and Irmo Middle. They are currently students at IHS.
