I am an educator who writes. I write about leadership, learning, and working together to make a better world. My words are often drawn from my background as a classroom teacher, school superintendent and educational trainer.

What I have to say is learned and formed in dialog with my best teachers, the leaders who taught me and colleagues who generously share their wisdom with me.
