I taught high school science and multimedia for thirteen years. Convinced that technology has the power to be an equalizer and empower learners, my mission has been to understand technology trends and best educational practices and enable the systemic changes to make them a reality for staff and students. I’ve implemented technology initiatives that focus primarily on the core of education – our classrooms. I was involved in the launch of Indiana’s first online school in 1999 and additional online and blended programs including the Achieve Virtual Education Academy (9-12) in 2010 and Achieve K-9 in 2021. I was CTO and COO of a large school district and I designed and implemented digital learning spaces in twelve hundred district classrooms.

I was elected to the CoSN National Board in 2014 and served two terms and I served as CoSN board chair during those 9 years. I am the founding Chairman of the Indiana Chief Technology Officer’s Council (2010-2013) I currently serve as it’s Executive Director and I’m a Certified Educational Technology Leader (CETL)
