Yearbook 2017
Build a bigger book.

New in 2016!

My new school is John Riebli University since my school of employment no longer allows outside websites. So this will be a resource site to back up my actual high school classes which officially use Schoology. This is my nineteenth year teaching technology. Prior to that I built and designed custom homes for 23 years. I also spent 10 years as a teacher of English in South Kitsap schools and an additional 12 years as a school board member there. I am excited to be here.  I teach my favorite classes while working with exceptional staff.  And the students I have met are outstanding as well. This has the makings to be another truly amazing year.
 Architecture & Interior Design 
We will be learning fundamentals about structure and shelter while developing basic  3d modeling skills. We have access to a 3D printer which enables us to create and print actual student projects. The results are often spectacular.  
Photography will be amazing. Images are integral to media and understanding how to capture and process digital images is a valuable skill opening up career opportunities. I instructed photography at a previous high school  and was advisor to their yearbook for 14 years so I bring a broad spectrum of experience. I also do architectural photography in my spare time. 
Media  
Students learn skills in the field of motion graphics which focuses on using computer technology to create and edit movement on screen. This will include animation and video utilizing Flash, Adobe Premiere, and Imovie.
Computer Graphics
Students create posters, illustrations, logos, package designs, and other graphic projects to develop skills working with images and typography on the computer to build an understanding of the tools and styles of the graphic artist today.
Journalism - Online
Students write, design, edit and publish an online newspaper/magazine focusing on happenings at our high school. Expect a big commitment to developing greater responsibility, time management, teamwork and communication skills. Students will also manage photography, video and graphic elements in their coverage.
Yearbook
This is a Wednesday class. We are building a 60 page all color book. We are excited to be creating a student produced book that should be available the first week of June. Adobe Indesign and Photoshop are used for publication creation.
          So what does a Myers-Briggs Personality Test mean when applied to me? 

 I test out consistently to be INTJ which translates: I am introverted. 

That doesn't mean I'm totally shy.... it does mean I need private time to draw energy from my thoughts. 
 I tend to focus, to sweat the details, and I am an idea person....I translate concepts to give them clarity and a foundation;
I transform them to  concrete, I root them in the practical. Although perfectionism bites me I am able to see beyond what is ideal, to what is necessary to get the job done... to bring a project to closure.

These are skills I developed as a design-build contractor and which come to focus each day in the classroom.
