Husband · Father · Teacher · Advocate · Community Builder
I build tools for exploring open knowledge, making music, and creating games. My background is in teaching mathematics; I’m interested in software that helps people ask better questions and make things of their own. This is where I share the projects, the experiments, and what I’m learning along the way.
