This is how I start all my Apple Education tweets and greetings. It’s simple, friendly and engaging. I decided to go with this phrase in my education world.

I have been in education for a total of 7 years, 3 years as substitute teacher and 4 as a full time teacher. I have always taught 3rd grade and personally consider myself a professional 3rd grader. I went into education after many years in the technology field. My interest in Apple started with the iPhone. I was tired of using smart phones that would give me a blue screen of death when trying to make a call. The iPhone just worked and since then I have been a fan.I love being able to share my passion and knowledge of technology with my kids and my peers.

This year I was selected to be part of the Apple Distinguished Educator Class of 2023.

I currently live in San Francisco with my wife, Jill, two kids, five cats, and 2 dogs.
