I’ve spent my career at the intersection of education, leadership, and technology, always asking one question: how can we make learning more meaningful for students and more empowering for the educators who guide them? In my current role as Instructional Technology Coordinator for the School District of Waukesha, I help leaders and teachers design pathways where technology isn’t just an add-on, but an essential tool for engagement, accessibility, and creativity.

Beyond my district role, I’ve been fortunate to serve in a variety of other professional spaces—contributing to a National Science Foundation grant on digital pedagogy, supporting colleagues through private consulting, and designing learning experiences as both a course developer and content creator. Whether I’m building professional learning for teachers, designing digital environments, or helping leaders think strategically, I thrive at that balance of big-picture vision and practical, step-by-step implementation.

At the same time, I’m a husband, dad, and lifelong learner. My wife, Stacy, is also a career educator and leader, and we share a passion for the transformative power of schools. Our oldest, Ella, is pursuing nursing at Carroll University, and our youngest, Sophie, is a high school sophomore whose curiosity keeps me on my toes. They’re a daily reminder of why I do this work: because every student deserves educators who are willing to innovate, take risks, and create opportunities that matter.

I see myself as both a builder and an explorer—always open to new opportunities, industries, and challenges. Whether the work is in a classroom, on a stage, or behind the scenes designing systems and content, I bring curiosity, creativity, and a drive to help people unlock what’s possible when technology and human connection meet.
