I earned my Bachelor of Science in Business Administration from Framingham State University in 2002. Early in my career, I worked in two very different settings: a bankruptcy law firm, where I provided financial counseling, and an elementary school, where I supported classroom technology. At the time, I was taking graduate courses in financial planning with the goal of becoming a Certified Financial Planner and had passed the rigorous exam.

Over time, it became clear that the work I enjoyed most was supporting teachers and students through technology. With my wife’s encouragement, I decided to change direction and move fully into education. In 2010, I accepted a full-time role as a Technology Integration Coordinator and began focusing my career on the intersection of teaching, learning, and technology.

In 2012, I returned to Framingham State University to continue my graduate studies while also completing a certificate program in instructional technology. In 2015, I earned a Master’s degree in Education with a specialization in Curriculum and Instructional Technology, graduating summa cum laude. That work helped shape my approach to supporting teaching and learning through thoughtful use of technology.

I believe strongly in continuing to grow as a leader. I completed a graduate certificate through the Consortium for School Networking and earned the Certified Educational Technology Leader (CETL®) designation, a credential held by a small number of educators in Massachusetts. I also completed my Doctorate in Educational Leadership from the University of New England.

After more than twenty years working in education, I remain deeply committed to helping schools use technology in ways that are practical, responsible, and focused on student learning. My work centers on supporting teachers, building reliable systems, and helping districts make thoughtful decisions about the tools we bring into classrooms.
