About Me

I am a father, teacher, and learner. I am learning to better appreciate the world in which I live and the relationships that sustain and help me thrive. I am a runner, a dog owner, a VW Bus owner/driver, and a coffee drinker.

Focus of current FEW-Nexus-based education work

My current work is orienting toward engineering or ecological and social justice where I have been working with colleagues to focus more on human and more-than-human thriving that resists purely Western dualistic ontological perspectives to consider relational ontological perspectives and responsibility.

FEW-Nexus-based education experience, expertise and interests

I believe my recent work developing curriculum units framed with our Engineering for Ecological and Social Justice framework can help provide expansive visions for what is possible in situating FEW in a larger ecological system of relations.
