I will be updating my page soon!

I now teach Web Development at Pinellas Technical College. Since we are year round, I don't have any plans for another Summer Camp or After School Program at this time.

I would love to continue free community workshops for kids and adults, or offer my help with other community initiatives. I will keep everyone posted!

In the meantime, I will start sharing out resources on this page. I will also share what's going on in Web Development at PTC!
