Community Education at Drake High School in San Anselmo here in Marin County, California, has temporarily closed its computer labs. As a result, the computer classes I teach there have been suspended until next year and I’ve returned to offering private tutoring lessons. I’ve created this blog and website so I can continue to help adults in Marin County learn new computer skills and improve old ones, particularly MS Word and Excel.
I’ve been a computer professional since 1980, I’ve been teaching computer classes in community education since 2009, and I’ve been building computers since 1993. I am also a writer, I’ve been active in the virtual world Second Life since 2004, and I do video work.
In my free time, I love hiking, trail running, and mountain biking. I’ve been a volunteer at Point Reyes’ Kule Loklo Indian village since 1993 and I’m on the board of directors of the Miwok Archeological Preserve of Marin (MAPOM). For two decades I directed and produced community television in San Rafael, and in the 1980s I was on the first board of directors of the old Bicycle Trails Council of Marin.
Feel free to contact me for tutoring or information about when I anticipate my community education classes will resume.
