"Greetings! My name is Aaron.

I have taught high school life science for the last 10 years, and this year I am teaching K-12 sciences at a new school. My wife and I just celebrated 15 years of marriage, and I have 3 young kids. I graduated with honors and a B.S. degree in science education from Montana State University in 2013, earning my Master's of Science in Science Education in 2020.

I find that understanding systems brings me a lot of joy. I can't help but be awed by the sheer number of things that must go right in order for me to take one breath! I take a bite out of an apple, and my cells extract energy from that apple to do trillions of things, one of which is to keep my heart beating 35,000,000 times per year! I find that helping students understand systems brings with it a comparable joy. When I see them beginning to understand a phenomenon, when they realize that the mental work it takes to understand something might just be worth the effort, it gives me hope that they will rise above their captivity to short-form video and explore the world to make it a better place.

I would consider it an honor to help you or your child in their understanding of our universe. Thank you for the opportunity!" less...
