About Me
Technology and Education
My passion for technology began with hands-on computer repair in Mesa, AZ, where I developed strong customer support and troubleshooting skills. Combining this technical foundation with a Master’s in Educational Technology from NAU and a teaching degree from ASU, I now focus on leveraging innovative technology to enhance learning. I specialize in quickly mastering new tools to solve challenges, improve the learner experience, and drive positive outcomes in organizations.
Innovative and Dedicated Teams
I valued my time at American Leadership Academy, where I helped pioneer the launch of the American Leadership Academy - Virtual Campus in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. I played a key role in developing, delivering, and adapting virtual instruction, guiding students and families through new technologies. I take pride in providing innovative, student-centered solutions and look forward to contributing to collaborative teams focused on impactful learning.
Personal Interests
Some of the things I enjoy doing most in my free time:
- Spending time with my family
- Exploring the great outdoors of our home, the U.S. Pacific Northwest
- Gardening
- Amphibian and Reptile keeping/husbandry
- Coding/Computer Programming
My Family
While on a hike, we found this really cool tree and decided to recreate a scene from the Lord of the Rings.
My Crew - Me (as a ring wraith), our dog Willow (as my steed), my daughters Claire and Emily, my son Logan (as hobbits), and my wife on camera duty.
