Is This Thing On?

Picks up the mic. Is this thing on? It’s been six years since my last blog post. This place is a little dusty and I’m a little rusty. The last post is from 2018. A lot has happened since then. Here are a few notable events from my life:

  • Presented at Learning Solutions 2019
  • My grandfather, a WWII vet, died at the age of 94
  • Made it through the COVID-19 pandemic
  • My oldest son graduated high school
  • My youngest son started high school
  • My youngest son had major surgery (he’s okay)
  • Turned 50
  • Clocked my tenth year as an employee at SAS
  • Earned my CPACC certification
  • My oldest son graduated college

Of course there were many other events that happened in six years, but those are some of the more memorable ones. My oldest son graduating from George Washington University hit particularly hard. Mortality is a helluva thing. How did I get to be old enough to have a child graduating from college?

Anyway, I’ll keep it brief. While I’m still an instructional designer, I’ve grown more passionate about accessible and inclusive design within the L&D community. Hence, the CPACC certification. Hence squared, why I am coming back to this place. I want to learn and share how accessibility and inclusiveness can and should be a part of designing effective learning experiences.

So here we go.
