Hello and thank you for coming to my Wikipedia editing user page.

I am currently an educational technologist with Heartland Area Education Agency #11 in Johnston, IA. My responsibilities include professional development and support in the area of instructional technology integration. I am the direct point of contact for instructional technology for 18 school districts and work with 3 other educational technologists to support the 80 school districts Heartland AEA #11 serves.

In addition to educational technology, I have interests in photography, travel, reading books, officiating (basketball, volleyball, baseball and softball), and PANDAS (Pedicatric Autoimmune Neuropsychiatric Disorder Associated with Strep).

My son was diagnosed with PANDAS in October of 2008 and since then, my wife and I have been on a "mission" to learn as much about this disease and its treatment as we can. Our son has had 2 IVIgs under the care of Dr. Miroslav Kovacevic, a Chicago area pediatrician.
