ABOUT ME

A learning designer with a life beyond the learning.

A learning designer with a life beyond the learning.

Outside of design work, I’m usually in a strategy game, on a golf course, hiking (when I can travel to a safe, livable climate), or doing some strength training. I also share life with my wife and a beloved zoo of pets.

I started in this space at NAU, working with the Academic Transition Program and Success Center. There I coached, trained, and facilitated Econ 101 and 202, plus statistics - experiences that taught me how much good learning depends on real conversation.
