I grew up in Gainesville, Florida where I attended the University of Florida. My major at the UF was Fine Arts: Electronic Intermedia. While I always knew I wanted to work with the arts and computers, it wasn’t until returning to Eastside High School, my high school alma mater, as an employee that I discovered my desire to share my love of art and technology with students. There I worked as a computer lab operator and worked with students and faculty, providing assistance and instruction. Two years later, I moved to Southwest Florida and began my career as a teacher along with my wife who also teaches at the same school as me. I taught reading and art for three years before accepting my current position as a Digital Arts and Television Production instructor at Diplomat Middle School in Cape Coral, Florida.
