Dinosaur at the Mayborn

Working @ Dallas ISD

I am the Web Services Manager for the Dallas Independent School District. I work daily to find ways to make the Dallas ISD website one of the best public school district websites in the country. So far the website has been very well received by our students and parents, faculty and staff, and the Dallas community.

Prior coming to Dallas ISD, I spent 5 years working at Baylor University. It is only a result that I worked at Baylor and that I worked for such vision forward people as Colin Witt and Randy Woodruff that I am prepared for such an undertaking. And it is only because I worked for Jeff Bowles that I am prepared to work in the politically charged environment that is Dallas ISD. Thanks guys!

No Soccer For Old Men

When I first came to Dallas ISD, I put together an indoor soccer team which meant of course a team website. We called the team No Soccer For Old Men, wore black, and tried to be intimidating. The website is admittedly a blatant design ripoff, but it is fun!

At Work

  • Implementing the new Dallas ISD Parent Portal
  • Developing curriculum and using it to train Dallas ISD faculty and staff

Work at Home

  • I am in year five of working with the Central Texas Science Fair. Year 5 brings more updates to the project management system I am proud to say that this is still the only online science fair project registration and management system in Texas.
  • The Receivership Network is in process. I continue to work on this in my spare time. Over the past year, I have implemented 2 new receivership websites.
