This time of year, everything is about “back-to-school.”

Clothing. Sales. Frequent trips to Office Depot. Even computer purchases.

This year, back to school has taken on a whole new meaning as I have made some career decisions. For the first time in over fifteen years I am not employed in the design industry. Instead, I have made the decision—after much thought and prayer—to become a teacher.

I am teaching web design and computer graphics at Westminster Academy, a Christian school founded in 1971 by Dr. D. James Kennedy. I just finished my second week and it has been exciting. It is a perfect way to unite my passions for ministry and design. How many situations are there where can you finish a devotion, and then segue right into HTML, CSS, and design?

I will still keep busy with various existing projects and new ones as well as I have always been.
