Biography

Geometry and Precalculus

,Personal Message

This is my fourteenth year at Nathan Hale.  This year I am teaching Geometry and Precalculus.  I attended Stanford University and earned a BS and MS in Mechanical Engineering.  While working for my for first few years after graduate school as an engineer, I found that I was spending much of my free time volunteering with youth.  I figured that since I really enjoyed working with youth, I might as well get a job doing it full time.  I love teaching math at Nathan Hale.  I am happy to help students any day at lunch or after school.  In my life away from Nathan Hale I enjoy spending time with my wife and two sons, biking, swimming, hiking and reading.

Days at Nathan Hale HS: Mondays / Wednesdays / Fridays

Mx. Zoba is currently on leave of absence. Leave replacement Assistant Principal will be announced soon. Please contact Principal Grimes Edwards with any immediate questions/concerns.
