Hi there. I’m currently a high-school science & engineering teacher, and I’ve been dabbling in educational games for a long time. My past experience as a software developer, combined with over a dozen years of teaching and leading in a variety of schools and student populations, have given me a multi-level perspective into the uses and limitations of educational software. The desire to understand how learning happens, and how best to prepare kids for the world of the 21st century, drives my quest into serious games.

Trivia:

• Multi-lingual (Romanian, Spanish, English)
• Second degree black belt in Tae Kwon Do
• Mythbusters fan

Popular games played among my family:

• Wii (Sports, Mario, Lego, etc)
• Cranium (Cariboo, Playground, etc)
• Settlers of Catan, and other board games
• Minecraft, Gamestar Mechanic, and other online creative games
