About the Big Guy
You can call him coach, presenter, maker, programmer, and host of other names, but to tell the story of David, we have to go back...way back.
It all started in 2004 when David started off as a history teacher at CD Hylton High School in VA. Just like any other first-year teacher, he had to find his niche. He had to find that thing that made his lessons stand out, and he saw it with technology.
In 2007, he moved to Georgia to start having kids in the proximity of family, and he kept fighting the good fight of teaching at Wheeler High School. While teaching always makes a difference, it was the technology choice that drove David to where he is now. He got his first Mac, and student creation was on like DONKEY KONG.
Wheeler's lack of technology resources meant a change was on the horizon in 2011, and David moved to North Atlanta High School to get into their full Macbook carts! With the carts, the student creation projects like videos, websites, audio projects, and social media accounts came FAST and FURIOUS.
David also got LUCKY at North Atlanta. He has a phenomenal administrator named Laura Brazil. Laura pushed David to get out and share, and after his first presentation at GAETC in 2012, he caught the bug.
By 2014, the bug got to be too much, and David joined the KSU iTeach team to do instructional technology full time. His time at KSU iTeach saw him do a little bit of EVERYTHING. He coached, he trained, he spoke, and he even fathered a Maker Bus.
All of it has prepared David for some new adventures, and in 2018 those adventures prepared David to move to the team at Tynker! He is currently the Educator Support Coach which means he gets to support teachers throughout the world,
