I started with Intelliboard by Numonics. They seemed to work and look the same as Promethean. But since the price was about the same AND Promethean had a much larger overall school acceptance and usage, and the teachers wanted to go that way, We n...

- About Me:
- I was nine when I touched my first computer an Apple II in my Elementary School lab. It was love at first sight. It would take two years of nagging my parents to get my own computer a Texas Instruments TI-994/a. I would spend the better part of my childhood, teens, and 20’s working on various computers of the day (Commodore C64, Amiga 500, Macintosh, 286-486). I wouldn’t officially start my career with computers until I took a job with Allstate Insurance working on the Agent Computer Help Desk and then later a field trainer going to agents’ offices and training them on the company computer system. When Allstate closed their main office in California I took a job with Electronic and Computer Specialties fixing computers and installing business networks. Eventually I took the A+ technician certification test and several Printer Repair Certification tests took a job with CompUSA eventually becoming a Computer Repair Depot Manager. In the late 90’s I became a Certified Novell Administrator and a Microsoft Certified Systems Administrator and worked for an outfit in Pasadena installing and administering corporate networks. In 1999 Deryl Maxwell the principal of Christ Lutheran Brea hired me on to maintain the Church Server and keep the small network of 6 computers working. Eventually I was asked to teach some introductory computer classes to the middle school kids part time. Through the Grace of God somehow that grew into teaching K-8 computer science classes plus advanced workshops and our little network grew to 75 computers spread over two campuses and connected with a VPN. I have now found the most rewarding job in my life teaching computer science and sharing God’s glory.
