I have been teaching normal kids to code and nerds to be more socially savvy since 1997.

More specifically, I've been teaching Computer Science at Leander High School (near Austin, TX) since the fall of 1997. The high school I teach at is a pretty good school; consistently ranked near the top 5% of public schools nationally. I have many students who are exceptional but most of my students are regular kids with no particular aptitude for programming.

To date, I've taught over 2000 students in person the basics of coding, and hundreds more through my book(s).
