From early childhood Mr. Fambro enjoyed technology but it was not until working in a 1-to-1 Apple school that he was able to combine his passion for teaching, curriculum design, innovation and technology in a professional setting. He has taught in private American, Korean and international schools. He is an Apple Distinguished Educator (Class of 2010) and Apple Professional Developer. He most enjoys championing teachers to be innovative and transform their classrooms to inspire students and increase achievement.

When not working with teachers and students in his school he enjoys digital photography, traveling, reading, learning about other cultures and social media.
