Business & Technology

Educator & Professional

Hello! I’m a dedicated and experienced business and technology professional with over a decade of classroom experience.

About Me

I have a professional Colorado teaching license with Career and Technical Education (CTE) endorsements in Information Technology and Business/Marketing. I have taught a wide variety of subjects that bridge creativity, technology, and real-world problem-solving.
I’m passionate about hands-on, project-based learning and leverage strong engineering principles to design engaging curriculum experiences. I challenge students to think critically, design creatively, and develop tangible solutions using industry standards and best practices.

Projects

Students use game engines like Unity or Construct to create original interactive games, developing their skills in storytelling, coding logic, and user experience design.
Through digital video editing software such as Adobe Premiere Pro or Apple Final Cut Pro, students produce short films, documentaries, or marketing videos—learning everything from storyboarding to post-production.
Utilizing 3D printing, laser cutting, and CAD software, students design and fabricate prototypes ranging from custom tools to product packaging. These projects often align with entrepreneurial or marketing goals.
Using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, students build fully functional websites that adapt across devices. Projects include personal portfolios, business landing pages, and e-commerce mockups.

Philosophy

I believe students learn best by doing. My approach emphasizes project-based learning, authentic assessment, and the integration of engineering and design thinking. By embedding technology skills in real-world applications, I strive to prepare students not only for college and careers, but for lifelong learning and problem-solving.
I focus on helping students explore emerging technologies while developing core skills such as collaboration, communication, and critical thinking. His classroom is a space where creativity meets computation, and where failure is seen as a vital step in the innovation process.
My favorite class! Always looking forward to what’s next.
