I began my educational career as teacher in a grades 3-5 multi-age classroom in rural North Carolina. Having spent the previous 15+ years working with technology on my own time, I quickly began finding ways to implement technology skills into classroom instruction. After spending six years as a classroom teacher I moved on to become the lead technology facilitator for a rural school along the coast of North Carolina. Where I provided staff development to teachers across the county on technology integration and helped to author one of the first technology assessment programs for teachers in the state of North Carolina. I moved to Pathways Elementary School in Orange County, North Carolina, where I served as an administrator of the North Carolina Model Technology School for 2003. I joined Discovery Education in 2005 as a Field Manager and now serve as the Discovery Educator Network Account Manager for the South Region.

I have presented at NECC, NCAECT, NSTA, NCETC, NCAECT, SC EdTech., and the DEN National Institutes. I have also provided leadership training for school system administrators, professional development on technology integration, and hosted the DEN podcast. I currently lives in Charlotte, NC area with his wife Laura, daughter Alex, and son Asher.
