Animation I & II    I     Graphic Design II

I'm kinda awesome. I have a toddler at home that is more awesome than me. I also have an awesome wife at home. I love a ton of nerdy stuff, movies, music, comics, etc. I play Disc Golf and love it. I graduated from Abilene Christian University with a Broadcast Journalism degree. I taught in South Korea for 3 years and that's what made me really want to continue teaching in America. I've taught Graphic Design for 4 years and Animation for 5. I am a life long learner and always looking for new stuff to do or try.

Graphic Design I      I      Practicum in A/V Production 

Hello! I’m Greg, a dynamic creative visionary with over three decades of marketing experience in the eye health market. I began my journey as a musician at heart while working for an eye care company. I’ve worn many hats over the past 3 decades, including various roles such as CEO, Vice President, International VP and Head of Marketing & Sales.

My creativity has been the foundation of my success and has given me resilience during times of growth and learning. I’ve been fortunate to have had amazing teachers during my academic years and incredible mentors throughout my professional career. I intend to bring the best of my experiences to the classroom and hope students will be able to use the knowledge on their journey. 

In my personal time, I enjoy composing music, creating digital media projects and playing with my two furry children.  I love spending time with my amazing wife Sheri and visiting with my three non-furry young adults. :)
