I was born in Sarasota Fl. and grew up in Florida and Mississippi. I was exposed to music from early on. My father was a Jazz musician playing Drums and Vibes. But I turned out to be a symphony musician and play Horn and Percussion. After college, I played professionally in a concert band and small symphony.
I earned a Bachelor of Music Education from Florida State University. At that time my father was a salesman selling audio/visual equipment to schools and started selling computers to schools. I got hooked!!! I became an Apple certified repair technician and got jobs repairing computers and writing computer programs.
I inherited my Uncle's farm in Manchester and let me tell you, as a Florida boy in Vermont, I've learned more ways to freeze pipes than I care to admit. I had been visiting since my childhood. I have always loved Vermont. The friendly mountains, the beautiful forest, the clean roadsides, the relaxed lifestyle. But I do miss the ocean and warm water to swim in.
For the last 20 years I have been teaching computers and helping teachers and students make effective use of computers in education.
My interest and passions are: Education, Technology, music, canoing, sailing, woodworking, photography, and robotics.
