I grew up in Rowlett, Texas and received my Computer Engineering degree from Texas A&M University. I worked for several years as a Design Verification Engineer, but eventually decided to leave industry and focus on inspiring a new generation of Engineers. I joined Plano ISD in 2014 and helped to develop the Senior year curriculum and experience at Academy High School.  When Plano ISD announced that it was starting Computer Science at the High School campuses, I was excited to have the opportunity to transfer to Clark and create a new Computer Science program!  In 2018, I was certified by Project Lead the Way (PLTW) to teach Engineering Science (Principles of Engineering).
