Milestones
My road in life has been direct.
I grew up in rural upstate New York in a log cabin my father built on a mountain.
In college, I studied to become a teacher.
I started my career as a high school and university computer science teacher.
10 years later, I decided to go back to school and earn my Ph.D. in computer science and cognitive psychology.
After graduating, I joined the New York City Foundation for Computer Science Education, where I worked to expand access to computer science for public school students.
I went on to co-found CSforALL, a nonprofit organization focused on making computer science an integral part of K-12 education in the U.S.
