About Us
I am a SAHM/WAHM of three boys ranging in age from 13 to 29. We are working on raising our youngest, helping our oldest two, and navigating starting our retirement all at the same time. I author a few blogs, including http://teched4kids.com. I have in the past taught computer information technology classes for the local university and taught workshops for kid’s in technology education besides being the Kentucky State FIRST LEGO League Championship Coordinator from 2005 to 2008. I now advocate for STEM education wherever I can. Life here is always an adventure!
