Profile
My passion for instruction guides me. I’ve lectured and presented for 15 years in 25 different states. I’m much more than a teacher. I’m a manager, counselor, work-force trainer, comedian, motivational speaker & friend. I’m also a visual storyteller. I shoot, write, narrate, edit, host, produce, technical direct and manage all aspects of video productions.
