Professional Interests
I have been studying and working professionally in media-related disciplines for over a decade. My interests lie at the intersection of media and cognition, with an eye toward how new technologies (including video games, MP3 players, distance learning technologies, etc.) can be used successfully and integrated into learning curricula and environments.
Personal Interests
An Upstate NY native, I am both an avid outdoorsman and sportsman. When not in the office, I am likely to be found cycling, hiking, skiing, kayaking, fishing, gardening, BBQ-ing, or anything else to enjoy the fresh air.
