Joe has enjoyed teaching and learning with students from early care to elder care and everywhere in between. Early in his career, Joe received an exciting range of experiences teaching children and adults in Virginia’s Fairfax County Public Schools. The Seattle, Washington, area took him on further adventures in education as an instructional coach, consultant, university professor, and administrator. At Teachstone, Joe has continued his travels in education by providing CLASS trainings in the United States, Canada, and Europe and by engaging with terrific clients in his Partnerships and Outreach role. He likes a mix of getting out and staying in (and cooking out and cooking in). Joe has roots at the University of Virginia and is delighted to support educational initiatives that were developed there.
