Profile

The father of a fantastic 8-year old, I have some experience in early childcare through substitute "teaching" at a Waldorf early childhood school, two summers as a "Big Kid" leading and mentoring teens at a renowned summer camp, and teaching pre-teens problem solving, teamwork, mechanical skills, safety and more through Recycle-A-Bicycle and similar programs. I'm a (quasi-professional) artist and musician and love to share my passions with children, and more importantly help them find and pursue their passions.

I believe in gentle parenting, maintaining a connection with children first and foremost, meeting them where they're at – their desires, challenges and motivations – and limiting reliance on rewards and punishments.

I know how hard it can be to raise children in our fast-paced modern world, and finding reliable, trustworthy people to be a part of our children's lives. I'd be honored to be a part of the solution.
