About me:

I work in ed-tech and eLearning design at The Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising (FIDM) in Los Angeles. I have been there for six years so far. With a long background in web design and a college degree in psychology, I have been interesting in learning and human-computer interaction for a long time. I love what I do and am anxious to learn more about education, being an educator, learning new ways to use the technology at our disposal. I am excited for this opportunity.

I am a technology geek and love techie toys. My blog/web site is here and it isn't about anything in particular. I dabble a bit in web and graphic design on the side and enjoy playing in Illustrator and Photoshop. When I am not glued to a computer, I enjoy spending time with my wife, travelling to Hawaii whenever we can, and watching our cat do strange things.

My courses:

• EPSY 457: Computer Uses in Education
• EPSY 590 NET: Networks for Learning
• EPSY474: Evaluating Learning Technologies
• EPSY490: Developments in Educational Psychology - Learning and Classroom Management
