I bring knowledge to you: at home/studio/office, on the screen, in the classroom, and to your company.  What I really do is help people see the walls they encounter in learning web design/development tools, as hurdles they can leap over (or walk around). I help people grow their skills. I adapt my teaching style to the way you learn, not the other way around. I teach because I love helping people get to where they want to be. I'm an Adobe Certified Instructor in Flash CS4/CS3/8, Dreamweaver CS4/CS3/8, and Contribute 4, and a CompTIA Certified Technical Trainer.

I've been teaching for 20 years, specializing in software/computer training since 2000. In addition to working with my own clients, I've taught HTML, CSS, Flash, Dreamweaver, Photoshop, Illustrator, and GoLive classes for Training Connection, Computer Training Source, and Mac University, all in Chicago, IL, Luminous Works in Seattle, WA, and roundpeg Inc, in Portland, OR. I was a freelance video and web design instructor for Street-Level Youth Media, Girls Get Digital, and Alternative Schools Network, all of whom provide media arts programs to Chicago-area youth. I've been a freelance web designer/developer since 1997. I'm also an experienced screen printer, and taught DIY screen printing for 3.5 years in Chicago. Film (super 8/16mm) and digital video is my biggest love.
