About the Author:  Professor  Laszlo Vass

Hi everyone! My name is Laszlo Vass and I am the author of the Anatomy and Physiology lab manuals for At Home Science Inc.  I am 36 years old and I am Hungarian by birth yet immigrated to the U.S. when I was seven years old and now live in Superior Colorado which is a suburb of Denver .  Currently, I teach Biology and Anatomy and Physiology to a great bunch of high school kids at Monarch High School .  I also teach General Biology online for the Community College of Denver and in the past, I have taught both semesters of college-level Anatomy and Physiology.  In addition, For my school district, I have developed online materials and serve on the Colorado State Science Commission, which is an advisory board to the legislature, for K-12 science curriculum.

My educational background is unusual for a science professor.   I went to New York University right out of high school and majored in theater and really enjoyed it and was starting to get my face noticed.  However, during the late 80’s, the drug culture was unreal and I saw myself going in the wrong direction----fast.  Because of this, I left New York and came back to Colorado to finish a political science degree and a science minor.  After graduation, I returned to college as a biology major and earned a teaching license.  Next, I completed a MS from Colorado State University in 2002 and a MA in Education from the University of Phoenix .  I am currently working on a doctorate in education curriculum and instruction which I hope to complete in 2007.

My wife Melissa and I have a five year old son, Alex, who keeps us very busy. As you can see, he is a cutie patootie and the joy of our lives!  When I am not teaching, I enjoy reading, swimming, crossword puzzles, playing poker with my buddies, cooking, relaxing and spending lots of time with my family.
