About Me

I’ve been teaching since I was a teachers aid in high school, although usually computer and corporate related training in the past 25 years or so. In the early 90, I quit my corporate job to redesign the way people learn. Why not use technology and reinvent the wheel again! While we are successful from a student point of view (our students love our stuff) but, it’s not too good to be to far ahead of curve. People generally resist change and its been an up hill battle ever since. Although its the rave reviews from our students that keep us plugging away. Since 1994 we have a 99.976% satisfaction rating on over 250,000 students trained from over 34 different countries. In 2007, we decided to make our proprietary method public and released our first version in 2008 with authoring tools, although we are still learning how to sell it into the general training market.

Influences and Inspirations

Teachers who have a real passion for teaching. I’ve met several teachers who constantly strive to make their students learn their subjects better. It’s those teachers that inspire me the most.

Favorite Books, Magazines, Art & Music

Books I wish, I’m slightly dyslexic and a little ADD so I need my information faster than I can get it from reading. Although I do enjoy magazines with summaries like wired, popular science and mechanics etc. I appreciate almost art and music as its an artists impression of how they view the world and I love learning about how people think.

Awards, Honors & Achievements

Engineer of the year at AT&T (computer systems division) part of the cash station machine, Marketing person of the year at AT&T (computer systems division) first client server app., Best of the best Award at Intergraph for redesigning a their sales process and saving their company close to $10m/year. I’ve worked on so many interesting projects in my life in physics, science, engineering, public safety, defense and education everything has been great.
