Kevin has spent over twenty years in STEM education. Half of his experience was spent teaching pre-service or in-service STEM teachers while at the University of Texas at Arlington and the Illinois Institute of Technology. The remaining nine years were spent as a classroom teacher in K-12 STEM classrooms (K-6 STEM Teacher, Middle School Science/Math Teacher, and High School Engineering and Math Teacher).

Kevin has fond childhood memories spending countless hours marveling at the colorful geometric shapes he could generate on the screen of his 1982 Adam Coleco. Nowadays, he finds the same enjoyment helping his kids create similar “works of art” with their Python programmed robots or in Quill using their Oculus Rift S Virtual Reality system.

Kevin is an avid radio-controlled model enthusiast who recently started 3D printing his own aircraft. When he’s not tinkering in his family’s little maker space he enjoys traveling with his family.
