About

I live on a farmette in Central Maine, where my wife and I grow berries, fruit, veggies and flowers. When I’m not outside, I develop tools and tech for higher ed.

Here are a few other things of note:

I was a founder of a profitable consulting firm, Third Coast Analytics, the IP of which was acquired by Capture Higher Ed;

I am an instructor for the Interactive Maps with Leaflet course on DataCamp;

A one-page version of my resume is available here (current as of April 2018);

I have had the opportunity to work at several great colleges, including Carleton, Colby, and Reed;

My first job after college was high school Latin teacher and football coach; and

My College Explorer app is featured in RStudio’s Shiny Showcase and I am on their list of consultants.
