Originally from the midwest (Gary, Indiana), but have lived in Manhattan for over thirty years. I'm a painter, print-maker, & teacher who became interested in the use of digital technologies back in the 80's which led to using the computer in my classes. In the 90's I started teaching online and transitioned to online program administration in 2001. Have gone through the ordeals of 3 LMS migrations but think Canvas will be the last since it's the best out there.
