Jason

Instructor
I've recently graduated from Chapman University with my Bachelor's in Physics with a minor in Computer Science. When working with math, I believe I'm dealing with the universe itself, that's why I love working with it so much and why I chose to pursue a degree in Physics. I love helping other people, especially young students, discover and understand the beauty of math as I see it. Eventually, I wish to have a career in Aerospace Materials and/or Propulsion Systems, as I'm fascinated with the structure of materials and wish to help humanity explore the stars. In my free time I enjoy exercising, playing games, and of course, doing math.
