About the store
I have spent more than two decades teaching in higher education, bringing real-world experience as a software and database developer, website designer, project manager, and entrepreneur into the classroom. Technology changes fast. My passion for helping students understand it has never slowed down. As a former Major in the United States Marine Corps, I bring discipline, clarity, and high expectations to everything I create. As a lifelong fan of Star Wars, Disney, and epic storytelling, I also believe imagination is just as important as instruction. Technology is not just a job skill. It is a creative superpower. Through my platform GetMeCoding.com, I help students, parents, and teachers build confidence with coding, AI, and digital creation. My goal is simple: give young people the tools to think clearly, build boldly, and create opportunities for their future. The resources I share here are classroom-tested, practical, and designed to engage students who might not think of themselves as “tech kids.” Whether you teach in a school, homeschool, church, or camp setting, my materials are built to inspire curiosity and real skill development. If you are looking for someone to speak to your school or organization about coding, creativity, or artificial intelligence in education, I would be honored to connect. Let’s build the next generation of creators.

Teaching style

My teaching style is an engaged one whereby I use a flipped classroom model and gamification techniques. Students have to be inspired first, before taking them down a rigorous path.
