In 2012 I opened the Media/Tech Academy at Antioch High School where I was Theatre Arts Director from 1996-2012 and currently teach Graphic Design & Video Productions. I am one of California's inaugural Leading Edge Certified Online Teachers, a Google for Education Certified Innovator & Trainer, and an adjunct theatre professor for Los Medanos College. After receiving my Bachelor of Arts in Drama from UC Irvine and Master of Arts in Theatre Directing from the Chicago College of Performing Arts, my penchant for technology and communication collided with the creation of ShakespeareCast.com in 2005. Before teaching, I worked as an actor, director, producer, and Arts Education Administrator for the San Francisco Shakespeare Festival. I present workshops on mobile learning and Google tools all over the US.
