  • Orrin Shindell has lived all over but thinks of Moscow, Idaho, a small university town and farming community, as his hometown. Shindell got his start in teaching as an undergraduate by working as a peer tutor in the Math Lab at UC Denver. He wanted the job so badly that to get his foot in the door he assembled all of the Lab’s new computer desks over spring break. He has been teaching ever since and is thrilled to be a physics professor at Trinity.
