Bio

I live literally, intellectually, and spiritually on some of the margins upon which we all intersect.

Really good teachers don’t teach to the tests.
Really good teachers are subversive.
Really good school leaders focus on co-participation rather than management.

Interests -

-If we are the only intelligent life in the universe, it’s an awful waste of space. *Contact*

-The thrill of victory and the agony of defeat. *Sports*

-Future of our species.

Businesses-

- I tutor English virtually using two courses I developed for English-speaking students looking for an off-the-beaten-path manner of looking at this language. It encapsulates geography, human history, and linguistic history. I also teach grammar!

- Vigilante Diversity, founded with my good friend and colleague Dr. Jeremy Pearson. We help people and organizations broaden their circles, understandings and practices to bridge real and perceived divides that hinder our ability to live inclusive lives.
