AAPT: American Association of Physics Teachers

Meet Adric

I follow in the footsteps of many who pursue physics by falling in love with the subject while taking honors physics in high school. I still remember my jaw dropping to the floor and realizing 'you can do THIS with math?' I was immediately in love with the science of creating mathematical models to make predictions. I was especially intrigued by the ability to refine the models by accounting for more nuanced interactions. My family was not surprised by my desire to pursue physics in higher education. As a child, I was often found in the basement of my parents' house, examining devices in different states of disassembly. I once even dragged home a payphone I found on the curb, amputating the box to learn its secrets. Beyond natural curiosity, I've always enjoyed being in the role of an educator: my first paid job was as a computer camp counselor teaching kids how to program Java.
