| I was born and raised
in Central Pennsylvania. Although I was always good at math, I never
considered it as a career. I went to college expecting to pursue a career in
law enforcement. I took a calculus class with an exceptional teacher who
made me realize that mathematics could be a great career. I earned my
Bachelor of Science degree in mathematics at Bloomsburg University. After
Bloomsburg, I attended Virginia Tech and earned a Master
of Science degree and Ph.D. in mathematics. Although I went to graduate
school expecting to earn advanced degrees and work in industry, my first
classroom experiences made me fall in love with teaching. I came back to
Bloomsburg University because I enjoyed being a student here. I
consider myself very lucky because I love my job.
I am married to Erin (Stiefel) Inch.
Erin was a professional ballerina who danced for most of her career in
Zurich Switzerland. Erin's brother Ethan is also a professional dancer. He
dances with American Ballet Theatre (ABT), the premiere company in the
United States. He also starred in the movie Center Stage.
Erin and I have a son, Kieran, who
was born in 2002. He is six, going on eighteen and is currently obsessed with chess. We also
have a little girl, Allegra, who was born in March 2005. She never stops talking, moving or imitating her big brother.
We live in Lewisburg with our cat Carrie and
a fish named Squirrel (yes, my son has my sense of humor). |
