I am a mathematics professor at California State University, Fullerton where I have worked since 2002. I am an algebraist and enjoy working with undergraduates on research projects. In my spare time, I enjoy climbing mountains. I have climbed Mt. Kilimanjaro in Africa, Pico de Orizaba in Mexico, and hundreds of mountains in the United States, the majority of them in Colorado, including all of the 14,000+ foot peaks and more than 250 of the 13,000-13,999 foot peaks.
