More About Me
I If you have made it this far, then I guess you want to read more.
Family
I am the happy father of two boys and the spouse of an amazing women. We love spending time toghether as a
family. Our family trips consist of traveling to the Florida Keys as well as visiting other cities here and abroad.
Our family is a tight unit and we enjoy each others company.
Interests
In addition to traveling with my family, I also enjoy fishing and boating. This is especially true when we travel to the Florida Keys. I also enjoy listening to music of all types. Finally, spending time with Spotty Pipens is another interest (my dog). He enjoys chasing balls, and swimming in the pool.
These are just some of the highlights of my past and if you really want to read more about my skill sets and what I have done in the past, go to see my resume.
Please note that many of the links on my old archived site, might not be working anymore.
Today
While I still pocess that technology drive and background knowledge, today my skill set involves being a technology educator.
South Plantation High School, which is located in Plantation not far from my house, and my high school alma mater is where I currently teach.
I have been teaching there for about four and half years.
I am a technology teacher. Today, my classes only
deal with HTML & CSS. However, in the past I have taught Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator, and Dreamweaver. I have also
taught Word, Excel, Outlook, and even Powerpoint. While I enjoy teaching many of these previously mentioned
applications, my passion lies with HTML, CSS, Javascript and basically anything web development. I will not bore you with details of my passing rates
and the level of students that I teach. For that, again you can look at my resume.
However, with that being said, I love teaching technology at all student levels.
In the Past
Prior to South Plantation high school, I was at Boyd Anderson High for a total of four years. I also taught similar disciplines at Boyd with similar results of levels of Industry Certifications. This pretty much sums up my past educational experience and current work experience.
A Previous Life
