All people need access to education, not roadblocks. Technology systems should make access possible and life easier for all the stakeholders in education, not harder. Education technology shouldn't bury us in frustrations, but help open doors of communication. It is our education communities that give us greater access to knowledge enriched lives, and technology is now holding these communities together and expanding them greater than ever before.

I strive to make education an engaging pursuit, by all people, for all people in my community.

If I see how someone can teach or learn more effectively with a new technology, I help to get it into their hands. If technology is not working the way it was envisioned, I help to get rid of it, through thoughtful planning.

I match purpose with technology to create greater impacts on education. I can help make it better by offering a decade and half of IT experience, and a decade of classroom experience.

I hold a Master's of Education degree in Instructional Leadership and Academic Curriculum from Oklahoma University and double Bachelor of Art's Degrees in Mathematics Education and Bible from Harding University.

My whole life has been about cultivating a positive approach to all circumstances in Education, and helping others to do the same, with or with out the tools they have access to. Over the years I have cultivated a passion and found myself in roles to research and advocate the right educational tools for educators and to teach how to use them to students and teachers. As the Chinese philosopher Lao Tzu once said, "Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach him how to fish and you feed him for a lifetime."
