EdTech leader in Western New York. Classes can be more engaging and innovative if technology is being used.

Married with 2 children. One child just graduated and lives in Pittsburgh, PA. The other child is still in college.

I make winter hats and give them away to students who don't have a hat in the winter. I just enjoy making the hats.

Was featured in the book "Invent to Learn" by Stager and Martinez. Wrote a chapter in the Liz Kolb book "From Toys to Tools."
