Hi! It’s good to connect!

I study how people learn, lead, and live with skill and awareness. My work sits at the intersection of education, leadership, and the inner life—where clear seeing sparks deep change.

For nearly twenty-five years, I’ve worked as a educator, executive, and entrepreneur, focused on helping people grow, not just perform. Today I lead The Conscious Schools Project, partnering with schools and education organizations to build cultures that help schools flourish.

I hold a Ph.D. in School Improvement, but most of what I teach comes from experience—the mistakes, experiments, and steady practice of paying attention. I also serve as a Senior Teacher at Appamada, a Zen center in Austin, where we practice to be wakeful and wise in everyday life.
