A Bit About Me
20+ Years of Learning & Development Experience
My journey has been about leading the charge in creating and implementing robust instructional courses, operating procedures, and work instructions that enhance corporate learning environments.
My forte lies in e-learning development, instructional design, and technical writing. I’ve designed and executed training plans, curriculums, and eLearning courses that cater to diverse learning needs. I’m skilled in multiple tools and methodologies, like ADDIE, SCORM, Kirkpatrick evaluation techniques, and software such as Storyline, Rise, Captivate, and Camtasia.
I hold a Ph.D. in Training and Human Performance Improvement and multiple certifications. I’m constantly expanding my skills in areas such as HTML, CSS, JavaScript, SCORM/xAPI, and e-learning development software. I am also advancing my technical writing and website front-end web development expertise.
I am always ready to transform business challenges into learning opportunities and successes. Let’s Go!

What people are saying
“I had the pleasure of working with Dean on a large-scale transformation project for a self-funded insurance administrator in Philadelphia. Dean was responsible for taking content gathered during the redesign of the organization and transforming the information into targeted training for associates. This project touched all business units in the organization, and the depth and breadth of information required a very custom approach.
Dean effectively used the latest tools and instructional design approach to produce multiple eLearning courses and instructor-led training materials. The topics ranged from Strategy and Account Management to Claims, Quality and Compliance. The work product got raving reviews from our client base!”

What Exactly are KSAs?
When it comes to learning and development, the acronym "KSA" can mean a couple of different things. The first is "knowledge, skills, and abilities." This version of KSA was used heavily for years by the U.S. Government as part of their candidate screening process. It...
