About Me

Once upon a time I wanted to be a Gameshow host.

I settled for teaching 8th grade science. Over the past 21 years, I have made amazing connections while helping students grow and learn. As an educator, I also honed a lot of skills needed to be successful in UX design such as empathy, communication, problem solving, research and observation. I truly enjoy helping others with their problems and coming up with a variety of solutions that fit their needs.

I love traveling the world, listening to vinyl records, exploring new craft beers, and spending time with my wife and two daughters… not necessarily in that order.
