I've spent the my career working in and around education. My early career was spent as a K-12 classroom teacher in Central Indiana, and this experience has cemented a strong sense of student centered pedagogy that continues to inform my day-to-day work. With my background in both history as a discipline and IT work, my pedagogy further centers on helping students and other educators leverage technology for better learning outcomes.
Originally from Upstate New York, I currently reside in the small hamlet of New Woodstock, NY with my wife and 2 dogs.
