Training & Experience
Distance Education
During the last decade, I've used and researched the different delivery methods and courseware tools currently being used with web-based distance education.

For the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, I provided a variety of pedagogical and technological workshops for university faculty including traditional Web development, online teaching strategies, use of clickers (personal response devices), blogging, podcasting, Advanced PowerPoint, Web graphics, multimedia fundamentals, and more. Furthermore, I maintained the department Web site, setting up and configuring servers, in addition to authoring a variety of Web-based applications, including a complete workshop registration system, consultation log, inventory log, and more.

For the Spokane Public School District, I set up and configured the district-wide Blackboard implementation, trained faculty to use Blackboard, and worked with faculty to develop online courses. For Webster University, I taught Management of Information Science master's level courses to students at Fairchild Air Force Base. Curriculum included computer programming, computer applications essentials, web development, Internet basics, networking essentials, and computer security. For Educational Service district, I installed and maintained several implementations of Moodle. I also created a WebCT-based course on Computer Basics for Gonzaga University.

Professional Experience
In addition to the years of educational and technical experience outlined above, I've owned and operated my own graphic design/web publishing/web hosting business. I've developed numerous educational multimedia CD-ROM packages. The Spokane Intercollegiate Research & Technology Institute (SIRTI), for example, commissioned me to create a cross-platform educational CD-ROM business application. I've also collaborated on a CD-ROM project for Avista Corp. on fuel cell technology.

Training
In addition to completing a masters program in Educational Leadership at Gonzaga University, I've attended countless workshops and national convention presentations. As a graduate student at Gonzaga University, I've completed courses in Windows NT Server Administration, Networking and Telecommunications, Comprehensive System Planning, Cognitive Perspectives of Computer Application Design, Principles of Instructional Design and Authoring, Human Development and Learning, and many more. As an instructor at various institutions in the Spokane Community College system, I've taught countless students to learn computer programming, Web design, multimedia, networking essentials, Windows NT administration and more.
