I'm a speaker, author, educator, administrator, and consultant who has worked to effectively integrate technology into learning environments at grammar schools, high schools, yeshivas, colleges, and districts around the world.

As the former Instructional Technology coordinator of the Diocese of Brooklyn and Queens, one of the largest private school districts in the United States, and the Faculty Advisor of Instructional Technology at New York City’s first iPad 1:1 school, I'm uniquely qualified to provide insight on the many ways technology is redefining education. I'm both SBL (2014) and SDL (as of 2016) certified and have worked as both a building and district administrator. In 2013, I released Going One-to-One: iPads and Mobile Devices in Education, the first book to offer a comprehensive overview of 1:1 deployments for administrators, educators, and IT specialists. That book is now being used at the University of San Diego (among others) as part of its graduate teacher education program.

My experiences as an Apple Distinguished Educator and Google Certified Teacher inform my work. The success of the book was driven in large part by frequent speeches and presentations. Recently, I was the sole keynote speaker at TNTc in Texas, which featured nearly a thousand attendees from across one of the biggest cities in America. After speaking at FETC in 2013, I was invited back as a presenter at FETC Virtual in October, then again to be a featured speaker at the 2014 iteration. Additionally, I've presented at some of the United States’ biggest education conferences over the last seven years, including Austin's world famous SXSW Edu, Edmodocon (two consecutive years), the 2013 Apple Distinguished Educator Institute, and prominent New York events like Tech & Learning’s Tech Forum NY, CUNY’s IT Conference, and Suffolk County’s ASSET Conference.

I proudly worked as eSpark Learning's Implementation Team Lead in 2014-15, and while I loved both my time there and the product we made and supported, I couldn't stay away from education for long. I've served as the Director of Technology at Valley Stream 30 in Nassau County since 2015, and during that time have again launched an iPad 1:1 initiative, rolled out G Suite for all district users, and built SIS and Active Directory integrations designed to streamline account creation and user management.
