Fun, Quick, & Easy

Learning can be fun, quick, and easy if you have the right teacher. I come from a family of teachers, I've taught at the college and university level for over 20 years, and I have been recognized as one of the top teachers in the California college system. I became a teacher because I love sharing knowledge and seeing how it transforms people's lives. Learning is the noblest of all endeavors. The more you learn, the more you improve your life.


Learn Quickly & Effectively

All of my courses include step-by-step tutorials and hands-on exercises. The tutorials show you what to do. The hands-on exercises allow you to practice what you have just seen. These hands-on exercises also come with all of the files you need and video solutions so that you can learn more quickly and effectively.


Great Courses for Beginners

I work with beginners all of the time. I understand how to take topics and make them easy to understand.


The Human Element

Students do better in classes where they enjoy the teacher. I am a bit goofy at times but this keeps my courses fun, interesting, and engaging. When you are learning with me, you are guaranteed to have a few laughs.


Traditional Credentials

I am a tenured professor in California, an autodidact, and multidisciplinarian. I have taught at the graduate and undergraduate levels in business, information system, and computer science. I also have a lot of knowledge about mindfulness, meditation, psychology, and personal growth. I was born into a culture of mindfulness and meditation, and have been involved with mindfulness and meditation all of my life. I have authored 48 books and have experience with the publishing industry, literature, and film. As I said, I love learning and love sharing knowledge with others.


I look forward to seeing you in class!
