Our Team at Mathnasium of Mount Vernon

Nathaniel graduated from George Mason University in 2024 with a degree in Computer Science. During his time there, he served as an Undergraduate Teaching Assistant for several courses, including Calculus II, where he discovered a talent for mentoring and sharing knowledge with others. His love for math began in high school, sparked by the satisfaction of solving puzzles, and he’s eager to help students discover that same excitement at Mathnasium. Outside the center, Nathaniel enjoys playing video games, performing on the double bass, and taking part in community theatre across the DMV.

Ben discovered his passion for education while volunteering at the Indianapolis Zoo, where he worked with marine animals—especially walruses, which he considers the best animals in the kingdom! His experience answering visitor questions sparked his love for teaching and led him to pursue a career in educational leadership. 

At Mathnasium, Ben values the ability to see students grow each day. His upbeat personality and deep care for student success make him an inspiring leader. In his free time, Ben enjoys playing guitar (even if a little off-key), spending time in nature, and exploring new places. 

Jeff earned his degree in Economics from James Madison University and later a Master’s in Education from George Mason University. He taught math at both high school and college levels for a decade before holding leadership roles in national restaurant brands. He eventually returned to his roots—his passion for education—by joining Mathnasium. 

Today, Jeff leads with the belief that math can change lives. He’s committed to creating lasting, positive learning experiences for students and families. Outside of work, Jeff enjoys life with his wife of 28 years, their two dogs, and visits with their three adult children.
