An avid explorer, Randy constantly asks himself and others “Why?”  He loves challenging his own assumptions, turning ideas on their head and seeking innovations that actually align to the real world in which educators live.  Examples of the fruit of this labor include co-founding Urban Montessori Charter School, Oakland, CA’s only public Montessori school, co-founding BrainQuake, a middle school math technology company and three-time U.S. Department of Education Small Business Innovation Research Award winner, and his first book, “The Daily SEL Leader: A Guided Journal”. When Randy isn’t collaborating with educators around the world, he’s likely sharing taxi service for his two daughters with his wife or honing his photography skills at home or abroad.
