As an educator first, his focus has consistently been on the compelling need to restructure schools so they become relevant to the current and future needs of our children. His rambunctious, irreverent and highly charged presentations emphasize many of the practical issues related to ensuring that change is meaningful. As a registered educational evangelist, his self-avowed mission in life is to ensure that children are properly prepared for their future rather than society's past.
