After spending the first ten years of his career in the classroom teaching science, history, and leadership in the Highline and Kent School Districts, Michael began his career in administration, serving one year as a Dean of Students and then moved to an assistant principal in the Tacoma School District. After four years at Stewart Middle School, Michael started Tacoma’s online high school, Tacoma Virtual Learning. In 2011, Michael became the Director of Instructional Technology and held that position through June of 2015. Michael then moved on to be the Executive Director of Innovation and Learning in the Eatonville School District. Currently, he is the superintendent of the Dieringer School District, a position he has held since 2019. Throughout Michael’s entire career, he has been an advocate for innovation and worked diligently to get more technology into the hands of more kids. Michael strongly believes that a ll students deserve an education that prepares them for the rest of the 21st Century and that technology is the key to transforming teaching and learning and ensuring equity for all students.
