About me
Hello, everyone. This is a picture of me with my son. I am Teaching technolgy at WAMS. We will be learning about videogame design, audio, video, technology, and image editing. If all this sounds exciting to you, then you are in the right class.
On top of that I run Esports where we compete against other school all across Texas! If that sounds interesting please ask during the school year!
