When asked about his teaching philosophy, he responded:

My educational philosophy is to provide practical strategies for an applied and integrated curriculum where students are engaged, understand academic material, and apply what they learn to real-life situations. I believe and have adopted strategies from Eric Jensen and John Samara that actively involves students and creates a positive, structured learning environment. In the words of Ben Franklin, Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember. Involve me and I learn.
