About Me
I come from both a technical and creative background which gives me a solid foundation for creating a learning experience which is both fulfilling, fun, and educational. My love of technology and computing started way back in the early 80's when I first learned to program in BASIC using TRS-80 computers and eventually owning my own VIC-20! Oh the good old days.
I spent 5 years in the public education system with credentials in adult education as a high school teacher teaching classes in 3D Animation, Computer Graphics and Design, and Theatre.
I completed my Masters in Educational Leadership and Policy Studies from the California State University, Northridge and have recently completed a 6 month boot camp in Cybersecurity from UCLA.
I live in a lovely town in southern California called Agoura Hills with my wife and 4 children.
