This is my 13th year as an educator at The Oakridge School and my second year as Director of Technology. The Oakridge School is a Preschool-12th grade independent school with 875 students located in Arlington, TX. My first two years I worked in Lower School technology followed by two years in Middle School technology. After that I spent seven years teaching Digital Production (web design, Flash animation and photo manipulation), Video Production and Economics in the Upper School. I also spent the first twelve years coaching soccer, volleyball and tennis. In my free time, I'm an avid tennis player and sports fan.

I'm looking forward to the next nine months as we learn together how to create and leverage 21st century learning and I'm hoping to expand my digital footprint as well as grow as an educator. I'm realizing more and more that the best way that I can serve my colleagues here at school is to be more connected as an educator. Here's another example of what I'm discovering @http://www.thethinkingstick.com/a-blog-post-a-tweet-a-connection.
