About

I spend my days working on PBS TeacherLine, an online service providing professional development to K-12 educators. The rest of my time is split between various projects and sites, all of which you can find linked from this website. I live near Washington, DC in the USA. This is my personal website and portfolio, the unstable center of my WWWorld. Welcome.
