Tavoris "T" on the left, me to the right

"You will know them by their fruits." Matthew 7:10-15

So that you can more easily trust me and what I share here, I'll tell you something of my personal life and accomplishments. 

I've helped many people, both younger and older than me, to better comprehend mathematics as a private tutor and also helped students to raise their math grades from such as an F to a B over six months with Mathnasium.

I received much genuine praise and compliments for my telling of constellation stories and teaching astronomy to visiting guests "of all ages" at SciPort Discovery Center in Shreveport, LA.

I coached boys and girls to develop strength, skill, flexibility and self-esteem in the sport of gymnastics, repaired and delivered with Johnson's Furniture in Shreveport-Bossier, developed customized nopCommerce websites with colleagues at Synapse Multimedia and coached international clientele to diverse success as a certified "Elite Life Coach" (thanks to Mitch Matthews and David Nadler).

I've kept up good relationships with friends and family and have become wise at making health decisions (kudos to our Aunt Lauri for inspiring me to refrain from eating "junk" candy by example).

I've participated religiously with quite a number of groups and communities worldwide (including a few of my favorites: the Denver Buddhist Temple and the Saint Elizabeth of Hungary Church in Denver, Colorado.

I am additionally fortunate to have seen multiple national parks, lived and worked in the magnificent Lake Tahoe area as a ski lift operator and also worked as a teacher at the beautiful Camp Jewell YMCA in Connecticut in the fall.

I'm a prayerful servant and student-teacher of life.
