Not a helicopter pilot

Hi, I'm Nick

I am a postdoctoral research associate at the University of Arizona. I am currently researching how prospective mathematics teachers create technology-enhanced lessons to develop conceptual understanding and various projects related to Project FAMILIA. I have also been working on creating and studying technology-enhanced lesson materials to support students' abilities to critique social injustices in society. 

I currently live in Tucson, AZ with my 2 wonderful children and 1 wonderful wife. We enjoy reading, hiking, listening to and playing music, camping, and playing together.
