About…

…Me

I’m a Senior Instructional Designer at a bank in the midwestern US. I have over 15 years of experience in the performance development field, most of those in the financial services world. Over those 15+ years I’ve done everything from classroom delivery to elearning design and development, and now manage the curriculum for our CRM tool. I’m also championing the implementation of electronic performance support within the organization.

I started this site to give a little something back to a community that I have learned so much from. Hopefully you find something useful here. I write about performance development, performance support, the occasional book review, and a rare off topic post.

I’m a Christian, husband, and father of four, and I have to let you know that the ideas and thoughts shared here are my own.

…The Site

I run the site using WordPress, using the Bones starter theme with a design that I created. I use several plugins:

  • Really Simple Twitter Feed Widget
  • Jamie Social Icon
  • Twitter Card Meta

Oh, and the fonts are from fontsquirrel.com.

… The Disclaimer

Yes, I have monetized my site, so I have to include this little bit of legal detail:
