~ About Me ~
Who am I?
A husband, a parent…
An educator, a student…
A thinker, a dreamer…
An agent of change.
I have a number of learning spaces where I chronicle who I am and what I do as an educator. My Pair-a-Dimes for Your Thoughts has a philosophical bent to it: my thoughts on education, learning and technology.
Podcasting Pair-a-Dimes is where I share podcasts as an extension to my Pair-a-Dimes blog.
My Daily-Ink is a now daily journal that I originally started years before, but became daily as of July 6th, 2019.
My not-so-monthly monthly newsletter, is only published when I have something of value to share. It is an easy 5-minute read with links to other items that will take longer, only if you are interested.
On this site, you can find links and references to my forays into the world of Web2.0, some of my Presentations, and Student Leadership resources based on my University of Oregon Masters paper, and one of my projects that started out as a blog post, Twitter EDU, is an ebook on how to get started on Twitter.

A little more about me:
I’m married (to a teacher) and have two daughters. In 2009 we left the bubble-wrapped suburbs of Vancouver, Canada and spent two years living in Dalian, China.

Currently, I’m an educator (Principal) with Learning Innovations Network Coquitlam (LINC) for School District #43 ~ Coquitlam, BC, Canada. My primary responsibilities are to Coquitlam Open Learning and an innovative blended learning Inquiry Hub Secondary School. I was also principal of Suwa’lkh, from February 2018 to February 2020, an alternate school with a name that means ‘New Beginnings’ in the Hul’qumi’num language.
I would like to acknowledge that I live, work, and play on core territory of the Kwikwetlem First Nations people which lies within the shared Traditional Territories of the Tsleil- Waututh, Katzie, Musqueam, Squamish and Sto’:lo Nations.
