Strategic guidance, practical results.

Over two decades of educational experience from a substitute teacher and janitor to classroom teacher technology director, and instructional technology coach, have shaped how I approach technology leadership for rural schools. My experience has focused on infrastructure, systems planning, vendor management, and operational leadership. I work with rural schools that need practical technology guidance without hiring a full-time technology director.

What I Offer

Technology Strategy

Strategic technology leadership for rural schools. Planning, vendor management, systems oversight, and practical guidance without the cost of full-time technology leadership.

Technology Planning

Budgeting guidance, lifecycle planning, infrastructure decisions, prioritization, and practical roadmaps that allows schools to focus on what they do best: facilitate learning for students.

Systems & Infrastructure

Technology decisions that balance reliability, budget, and long-term sustainability.

Vendor Evaluation

Objective assessment of technology vendors, platforms, and tools. Decisions grounded in real requirements rather than marketing promises.

Technology Risk & Security

Practical guidance around cybersecurity, account security, backups, phishing awareness, and technology risk reduction for rural schools.

Operational Stability

Helping schools simplify systems, reduce complexity, and make technology easier to manage over time.

The Fractional Model

Most rural schools need strategic technology leadership but can’t justify or attract, a full-time technology director. The fractional model provides district-level thinking applied to technology at a scale that matches your needs.

My approach is designed to help rural schools make confident technology decisions, reduce administrative burden, and build systems that support teaching and learning without creating unnecessary complexity for staff.
