Hobbies: video games, dutch-oven cooking and catering, woodworking

Since I run a Center that teaches coding to kids by making video games, I have been able to use that skill along with my teaching abilities to help many children understand coding and computers.


I love Dutch oven cooking.  I've published a cookbook that teaches Dutch oven cooking, and did cooking demos for sporting goods stores until the onset of COVID.  I've catered outdoor events for as many as 60 people.


I've built many things out of wood, including furniture, shelving, and various hardware.
