Hi All,

Prior to being a high school teacher I was a principal systems engineer and have been coding since 9 y.o. (33+ years ago) and tinkering/soldering/making superficially on and off during that time.

Currently I am a bit of a ghost. I use coding/tinkering/making as something to keep me active while managing chronic illness (8 years now). My most active time on the forums will be Christmas holidays where I look forward to lots of making and hopefully some useful contributions. My main focus is trying to improve accessibility of all these awesome toys to young minds who are swamped with stimulation in the world and don’t have the benefit of boredom to get over tough challenges (like I did 33 years ago).
