I am a retired educator who programs as a hobby. My main focus in programming is to write apps that help students learn. I've been enjoying the Wolfram Language since 2016.
More specifically, Over a span of twenty years I taught English, math, video game design, and wrestling in urban high schools in the Phoenix area, serving in quasi-administrative roles such as department chair, articulation coordinator, etc. Since about 1997, I have been creating computer games as study aids, first in Hypercard, then in various other scripting tools and languages. My academic trivia game Chicken Scratch was so popular when I was teaching, that students would line up every lunch hour to play. Now that I am retired from teaching, I spend my time creating a wide variety of projects in the Wolfram Language.
I enjoy life in sunny Scottsdale, Arizona with my wife.
