I am a learning professional with 20 years of experience in writing, developing, and delivering training across many different delivery methods.
As any good instructor should, I started in the classroom. Combining that face-to-face training experience with a wide range of creative skills, I quickly transitioned to instructional design and have never looked back. I am passionate about excellence in learning, learner information retention, and making learning experiences interactive and fun.
I continue to create training across many industries, and in every format, from Instructor Led Training to Virtual Reality. I have managed teams of IDs, graphic designers, and developers, and shaped learning products and companies from the ground up.

I provide instructional design and outcome-based course design for organizations that need workforce training, onboarding, vocational learning, or eLearning programs tied to measurable results.
My work focuses on structured learning, practical application, and evidence of capability, not just attractive content or course completion.
My training background began with U.S. Air Force training in 1985, where I learned early that effective instruction depends on clear outcomes, structured practice, feedback, and continuous improvement. That performance-based mindset still shapes my work today: clarify the outcome, structure the learning, test what learners can actually do, and improve the experience.
I’m a strong fit when you need to turn complex information into a course, training program, onboarding pathway, vocational curriculum, or certification-oriented learning experience with clear objectives, aligned assessments, and usable learning materials.
WHAT I HELP ORGANIZATIONS BUILD
• Outcome-based online courses and blended learning programs
• Workforce training and employee development programs
• Vocational and certification-oriented training
• Onboarding and role-readiness programs
• Curriculum maps, course outlines, lesson structures, and assessments
• Scenario-based eLearning and applied practice activities
• Instructor-led and self-paced training materials
• xAPI-enabled HTML5 learning experiences
• cmi5-ready learning materials for richer learning data
• LMS-ready course materials for common learning platforms
BEST FIT CLIENTS
I’m usually the right fit for organizations that need training tied to job performance, readiness, certification, compliance, onboarding, or measurable learning outcomes.
Many clients come to me with strong subject matter expertise but no clear course structure. I help turn that expertise into a learning experience with clear objectives, logical sequencing, practical application, and evidence of learning.
MY APPROACH
I begin by clarifying the business goal, learner profile, required performance, and evidence of success. From there, I structure the course, organize the content, design learning activities, build assessments, and develop the materials needed for delivery.
I use an iterative design process because serious training improves through feedback, testing, and refinement. The first version should be thoughtful. The final version should be stronger because we’ve checked it against the actual learning goal.
TECHNOLOGY AND DELIVERY
I develop xAPI-enabled HTML5 learning experiences and cmi5-ready course materials for organizations that want better learning data than traditional completion tracking can provide.
I also create LMS-ready materials for platforms such as TalentLMS, Canvas, LearnWorlds, LearnDash, Thinkific, Absorb, Cornerstone, and related systems.
Tools and technologies I work with include Articulate Storyline, Articulate Rise, PowerPoint, Camtasia, Adobe Premiere Pro, After Effects, Illustrator, xAPI, cmi5, HTML5, and common LMS delivery formats.
My focus is not simply uploading content into an LMS. My focus is designing structured learning experiences that help organizations gather better evidence of learner progress, practice, and capability.
INDUSTRIES I SERVE
• Healthcare and medical training
• Manufacturing and engineering
• Information and operational technologies
• Industrial controls and building management systems
• Training and consulting organizations
• Public and private sector workforce development
• Corporate and professional services
WHY WORK WITH ME
• Performance-Based Experience: My training foundation goes back to U.S. Air Force instructional environments, where learning had to support real performance, not just content exposure.
• Outcome Alignment: I connect course structure, learning activities, assessments, and delivery materials to the outcomes your organization needs.
• Structured Learning: I use clear sequencing, scaffolding, and chunking so learners can move from introduction to practice to applied capability.
• Better Learning Data: When appropriate, I use xAPI, cmi5, and HTML5 approaches to support richer evidence than basic completion tracking.
• Tailored Solutions: Every project is customized to your audience, training goals, source material, and delivery environment.
NOT THE BEST FIT
I’m probably not the right choice for projects that only need quick slide cleanup, basic formatting, isolated video edits, or low-cost content assembly without a defined learning goal.
GOOD NEXT STEP
Send a message with your course goal, audience, current source material, desired outcome, delivery platform, and timeline. I’ll help you determine the right scope and path forward.

Top Rated Plus consultant helping organizations turn AI, change, and learning initiatives into practical adoption, clearer decisions, and stronger internal capability.
I work with leaders, HR teams, learning teams, transformation groups, and change sponsors when training is not landing, AI adoption is uneven, or people need more than another presentation. My work helps teams clarify what is changing, build practical skills, and leave with tools they can use immediately.
Across my career, I have facilitated 500+ workshops, trainings, leadership sessions, and executive conversations with consistently strong satisfaction. I have built learning ecosystems reaching 20,000+ participants with 1M+ annual engagements, supported enterprise transformations, and designed AI/GPT enablement programs that improved adoption by 45–70% while reducing design time by roughly 40%.
What I can help you do:
• Build practical AI adoption programs that connect tools to real workflows
• Design learning strategies that support business goals, role clarity, and behavior change
• Facilitate leadership retreats, strategy sessions, change workshops, and alignment conversations
• Create Train-the-Trainer programs, facilitator guides, practice labs, and toolkits
• Translate complex change into clear messages, usable learning, and measurable follow-through
• Support leaders and teams through AI, operating model, HR, ERP, culture, and transformation work
My approach is practical and participatory. I use Evergreen3’s Clarify → Organize → Navigate → Evaluate model to understand what matters, design the right structure, facilitate productive engagement, and help teams leave with clear next steps.
Clients typically bring me in when they need less confusion, stronger alignment, better adoption, and internal capability that lasts after the session ends.
Available for strategic consultations, workshop design, facilitation, AI enablement, learning strategy, and Train-the-Trainer support.
