Who is this guy?

I am a lucky husband to a wife who tolerates my quirks. I adore my two wonderful and very different kids along with our two cats (only one of which shows me affection). In addition to loving technology and finding excuses to buy more gadgets, I'm also obsessed with fishing. My favorite trips are to the Susquehanna River where I dream of one day catching a muskie. Rounding out my old-man hobbies, I’m also a self-taught ukulele enthusiast and collector of Italian fountain pens.

How did I start working in education?

I took a generous 4 months of parental leave after my first kid arrived. It was hard and full of joy. As my 4 months came to an end, I realized that my work wasn’t emotionally fulfilling enough for me to stay in it. After much soul-searching and consulting my amazing wife (who also works in education), I decided that a career in edtech would give me that fulfillment. I’ve never looked back.
