About

Good day!

My undergraduate and graduate degrees are in music education, and as an undergraduate student, I minored in philosophy. Also, I sit on the Board of Directors for Ashland University's Strategic AI Program.

I was a public school teacher for over ten years. I taught k-12 general music, band, choir, and orchestra. Leaving teaching was neither sought nor wanted, but life threw me a major curveball.

From the next twelve-plus years of my career, I worked in the private sector. I worked in various testing laboratories, honing my qualitative and quantitative research skills, along with statistics and data analysis.

I learned Python along the way, as I built and programmed custom test apparatuses.

I can teach all levels of music. I can even teach instrument lessons via Zoom. I can teach higher level mathematics and philosophy for those looking to prepare for college and think on their own.

I can teach python for beginning and intermediate students. I'll happily show you how to build and program custom electronic devices.

I have a laid-back approach to teaching, but that doesn't mean I have low standards. The expectations are high, yet I create an environment of psychological safety. This enables the students to be their authentic selves while learning.

I am a jack of many trades, and I'm excited to help students learn and grow!

Kindest regards, Dave
