I love teaching teachers and kids how to use Makerspace tools like 3D Printers, laser cutters, CNC routers, vinyl cutters, 3D/CAD modeling and LEGO Robotics! I focus on supporting academic institutions that are in need of solutions to provide excellent support to their students in order for them to become empowered in STEM. I also help instructional teams understand how to leverage technology effectively in the classroom. Having taught IT/Tech Support for over 5 years at a college level, I am also able to support with schools' computer hardware, software, and network server and client infrastructure. I am also a design technology teacher.

Taught LEGO Mindstorms Robotics building and computer programming fundamentals for STEM awareness and fun. Mostly done on a volunteer bases or for extremely low cost for low income families. -First LEGO League Coach of two teams
