Education founder building AI-native learning products
“I used your first video in a class in which I was being observed. My principal was super impressed, "That's next level instructional technique!" I love that it allows me to take roll, but then also move around the choir, giving notes, instead of being chained behind the piano. Thank you!”
— Nathan (Choir Director)
I firmly believe that human beings have been created TO create. I never could have dreamed how pursuing creative ideas with my own students would grow to help so many teachers around the world. I'm humbled and excited to share these great resources with you!
"And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus,
giving thanks to God the Father through him."
Colossians 3:17

How I build
AI-native builder: uses modern AI coding tools (Cursor, Claude) to prototype, ship APIs, and improve products in days instead of months. Comfortable owning roadmap, design quality, and learning outcomes end to end.
