Game Producer, Educator, Army Officer, Magician. I like building things that help people learn, play, and experience wonder. Welcome to my little corner of the internet.

If my work has helped you or made you smile (Jump to My Projects), a coffee keeps it coming — or better yet, chip in below and help a secret project see the light of day sooner 😄 All supporters will get an opportunity for a sneak peak at the project.

My Students' Projects

I spent 8 years teaching high school math and computer science. I loved teaching, especially teaching kids who didn't have confidence in their own abilities in math or computer science. Here are some of their projects. I'm including them here because I really do think teaching is a really tough craft, but seeing what my former students have made in my classroom just makes me smile.
