Classes at Mr. C's
I have been teaching science at homeschool co-ops since 2004 and have been a web developer and designer since 1998. I have a B.S. in Biology with a Chemistry minor from the University of Minnesota, Duluth. For many years I have been studying Creationism and Apologetics. I find joy in finding new ways God's hand appears in nature and enjoy sharing these nuggets with my students trying to make classes fun and memorable. I also try to instill a love for the subject with my students.
