I am a proud parent of three amazing little boys, Conner, Liam and Keagan. As a day job I work at West Chester University as an Associate Professor of Educational Technology. I am a graduate of Penn State University with a Ph.D. in Curriculum & Instruction. In a previous life I was a professional football (soccer) player.

In 2007 I became an Apple Distinguished Educator and in 2009 a Google Certified Teacher. My efforts in teaching and research have the focus of technology integration in Pre-K-12 and also in higher education. I recently had an edited book published titled Technology Leadership in Teacher Education: Integrated Solutions and Experiences. Plus published articles on eMentoring, 24/7 laptop access for teacher candidates, and ePortfolios. In 2010 a wrote a book chapter on podcasting. My most recent research revolves around eBooks and eBook readers. I am part of a team of researchers working on an eBook reader pilot with students and faculty at West Chester University.

Outside of teaching and research I serve on the Apple Distinguished Educator Advisory Board and help out as a Technology Specialist for the Honors College at West Chester University.
