I guide individuals, companies and communities through transformative journeys using creativity, insight, and pedagogical tools. Drawing on over 30 years of experience, I serve as a creative catalyst to help clients through exploration and analysis; the central idea is that the creative process makes the intangible tangible but in this process participants need tools to endure difficult, ambiguous, or confusing situations.

I'm designer, developer, and educator who harnesses the power of technology to foster engaging and meaningful educational experiences within online communities.

I have a Doctor of Education in Art and Art Education from Teachers College, Columbia University, a Master of Arts (M.A.) in Instructional Technology from San Jose State University, and a Bachelor of Fine Arts (B.F.A.) from Clemson University. Prior to my academic pursuits, I served as a Gunner's Mate in the U.S. Coast Guard.
