When I went back to grad school to get a teaching credential, the advisors were weirded out. I wanted a dual major - English and Biology. "You don't want to do that. Nobody will hire you." "No, I said, you're wrong. I am now a dual-threat teacher. Plus, I.m a writer and lifetime science guy. I'll make this a success. "

That’s a great example David! You forgot to mention that you’re also a published author.

My formal education includes majoring in biology with minors in chemistry and psychology, then grad school for physical therapy. Since then I’ve built dozens of websites, written code for custom WordPress plugins, designed and built no-code solutions and tech stacks for businesses.

I’ve used AI tools daily for the last three years as a thought partner, coding assistant, researcher, and many other uses. Now, I’m digging deeper into AI design to help me turn my ideas into reality - like the new image for this post.

What’s next? Leaning into digital health? Consulting to help creator businesses with digital solutions & tech? Writing books & speaking? Time will tell.

Yeah, that’s my mindset. I just have to be careful not to dilute my efforts by taking on too much at once.
