Leading Educational Innovation
Expert-Led Instruction
I’ve spent my life at the intersection of learning, technology, curiosity, and service. If there’s one theme that has followed me through every chapter of my journey, it’s this: I believe knowledge has the power to transform lives—but only when people can truly access it, understand it, and use it meaningfully.
My path has never followed a straight line, and I’m grateful for that.
I began my professional journey working in libraries from the ground up, learning firsthand what it means to serve communities one person at a time. I’ve worked as a page, clerk, technician, librarian, educator, archivist, and library leader. Each role taught me something different about people, information, and the quiet but extraordinary impact of helping someone find exactly what they need at exactly the right moment.
What started as a love of books and information evolved into a much broader passion for education, systems thinking, and innovation.
Today, my work spans librarianship, education, technology, research, and authorship. I hold advanced degrees in computer science, library and information science, web technologies, business, and educational leadership, but the most important lessons I’ve learned have come from real-world experience—working with students, families, educators, and communities navigating an increasingly complex digital world.
I’ve worked in public libraries, academic institutions, archives, and K–12 education, which has given me a unique perspective on how people learn across every stage of life. Whether helping a child discover the joy of reading, guiding college students through research challenges, building technology-rich learning environments, or leading organizational transformation, I’ve always been driven by the same mission: making learning more human, more equitable, and more impactful.
Technology has always fascinated me—not because it’s shiny or trendy, but because of what it can make possible.
As someone with a background in computer science and educational technology, I’m particularly interested in how artificial intelligence, emerging technologies, and digital systems can improve teaching, learning, and access to information. I believe innovation should solve real problems, not create new barriers. That philosophy has shaped much of my work, including my research, writing, and ongoing development of accessible learning tools designed to support diverse learners.
I’m also an author and researcher who enjoys exploring the future of education, libraries, and knowledge systems. My writing focuses on topics including artificial intelligence, literacy, student learning, educational innovation, and the evolving role of libraries in modern society. I’m especially interested in the questions that don’t have simple answers—how technology changes the way we think, what meaningful learning really looks like, and how institutions can evolve without losing their humanity.
Outside of my professional work, I’m a husband, father, and someone who deeply values family, humor, resilience, and perspective.
My wife and our twin daughters are at the center of everything I do. They keep me grounded, challenge my thinking, and remind me daily that the most meaningful work in life rarely happens on a résumé. Our home is also delightfully chaotic thanks to a collection of pets who seem to believe they run the household.
I’ve also spent time in public service and community engagement, experiences that reinforced my belief that leadership is not about titles—it’s about responsibility, empathy, and action.
At my core, I’m someone who loves building things—ideas, systems, programs, strategies, solutions, and sometimes entirely new ways of thinking about old problems. I believe education should inspire curiosity, not compliance.I believe libraries remain among the most important democratic institutions we have. I believe technology should amplify human potential, not replace human connection.
This website is a space where those ideas come together. Here, you’ll find my writing, projects, research, professional work, and occasional reflections on education, technology, leadership, innovation, and the messy, fascinating process of learning it
