Deaf Connection
When I was three years old, my younger brother got sick with spinal meningitis. In the process, he became deaf with an almost complete hearing loss. This difficult situation provided a unique opportunity for my family and I to become fluent in American Sign Language (ASL).
My brother was not sent away to a deaf or hard of hearing school. He grew up with us, his hearing family, and we were active in the Deaf community.
How I Learned To Sign
My incredible Mother was the main driver in creating an ongoing environment where my whole family learned to sign fluently. She pushed us and then pushed some more. Challenging in the moment but, wow, what incredible skills we soaked up throughout the journey.
My Mother's steadfast determination ultimately allowed for high level sign language communication within our family and with the Deaf community.

Professional Experience
As a former police officer and federal investigator, I often used ASL to communicate with and serve members of the Deaf community. I decided to create simple, step-by-step ASL courses because sign language is a useful and fun skill to have. Like learning any language, it opens your mind and creates the ability to communicate with a whole new group of people.
