Robert joined Advanced Classroom Technologies in 2022 as the Director of Strategy and School Success.  In this role, Robert serves as ACT's thought-leader and school advocate, helping school leaders drive strategic change through technology transformation.  Robert will  work to inform teachers, school leaders, and ACT’s solution teams of the relative advantages and challenges of different technologies on instruction.  His aim is to ensure that content becomes more accessible to students--visually through vivid imagery and powerful media and acoustically with the teacher’s voice heard clearly above the normal chatter of learning activities.

Throughout his career, Robert has striven to create a digital learning culture for students and school staff.  Most recently he served as the Executive Director of Technology and Operations in the Anacortes School District.  He was successful in leading a rapid change effort to modernize classroom technologies across the District, replacing outdated projectors with interactive flat panels, digital document cameras, voice enhancement systems with video conferencing capability.  Prior to ACT, he performed similar work in Monroe, Tukwila, and Northshore School District.
