Brief Biographical Sketch:
Learning is a lot of fun, if you go at it the "right way." For me, there isn't just one right way. Learning needs to be about figuring stuff out - by yourself and with other people. What I do is ask some questions to get you thinking and talking with each other. Yep, think of me as the cool hockey coach without skates (thank God for that: I can't skate to save my life). Why me? Other than been guiding learning for some time, it's more about what the training can do for you. Why do this? Heck, it's be fun to try something different.
