In Family Blueprint #30 I made a quick reference to Dr. David Shormann which had led to the question, "Who is Dr. David Shormann?" Dr. David Shormann is the creator of DIVE CD's
that are a companion to Saxon Math. My daughter uses his CD's in lieu of a
personal math tutor. I am very impressed with his stand for God and his
mathematical genius! This bio is from his website: http://www.diveintomath.com/teacher.aspx Dr. David Shormann received his B.S. in aerospace engineering (1989) and his master's in marine chemistry (1992) from the University of Texas. In 1996 he received his Ph.D. in Limnology (study of freshwater ecosystems) from Texas A&M University. He has conducted research on the Atlantic Ocean, Gulf of Mexico, Bering Sea in Alaska, several of Texas' estuaries, and the Brazos River. Dr. Shormann has also written a book, Shormann's Field Guide to Texas Estuaries. Since 1997, he has been teaching math and science classes to homeschoolers in the Houston area, and has conducted science camps each summer. He has taught science since 1990 from elementary through college levels. The academic excellence of Dr. Shormann's classes for homeschoolers is being noticed by colleges, as students that he has written recommendation letters for have received over $2,000,000 in scholarships. In the Spring of 2000, he began making the D.I.V.E. CD lectures. Dr. Shormann and his family live in Magnolia, TX, and attend Grace Covenant Presbyterian Church, where Dr. Shormann serves as a deacon. If your family is unfamiliar with the promises God has made to you, then the Shormanns encourage you to pick up a Bible and read about what Jesus Christ did for you! For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast. Ephesians 2:8 - 9 (New King James Version)
