Instructors

As a graphic designer with 21+ years experience in education, publishing, financial and law industries, my most accomplished work has been teaching young-adult learners about the design and visual field. Our medium—software—is constantly changing making our learning environment exciting, fast-paced and current. I hold a Bachelor of Fine Art from West Chester University in West Chester, Pennsylvania and a professional Massachusetts state license in Design and Visual Communication under the Arts and Communication cluster.

I began teaching at SST in 2007. Left in 2018 to gain experience in an urban, comprehensive high school. Spent 5 years there and have returned to SST this year.

I hold a Bachelors, Occupational Education from Fitchburg; a Masters, Curriculum & Instruction from SNHU and CAGS (in progress) for School Leadership from Merrimack. Not only am I a teacher of vocational education but also SST Alumni - Class of ‘86.

With over 23 years in the graphic design and printing industry, I hope to challenge our next generation of graphic designers and pass on my expertise so our students may have their own successful careers. My background includes operating a freelance design studio called Culp Design, as well as owning a small print and copy shop with my wife called The Happy Frog Copy Center for the past 17 years. I was on the SST Advisory Council for the past five years, and I am also parent of three girls, two of whom are vocational students.
