Hello, my name is Ms. Nora. I am the Administrative Director and I still teach classes from Preschool & Kindergarten, health, wellness, science, history, music theory and appreciation, creative writing, DM, and more.

I worked in the healthcare field for the last ten years but always had a passion for teaching. I loved teaching to homeschool co-op groups as I've been homeschooling my own children. I am finally working on my Elementary Education degree and will soon be a licensed teacher. I use empathy to effectively manage classroom behavior. Leveraging student feedback to create dynamic lesson plans that address students' strengths and weaknesses. I believe all children can learn and strive to engage everyone through different learning styles.

My family and I love to travel the world to learn new cultures and try new foods outside of the US. We most recently have been traveling to Thailand, Greece, Mexico, Spain, Poland, Cambodia, Vietnam, Indonesia, Germany, and more.

Harrison Downing

Howdy! My name is Harrison Downing, and I've been an instructor here for almost a year now. My formal education is in Software Engineering, so I've been involved with Computer Science and Programming for right around 12 years at this point, which was also around the time I was introduced to Dungeons & Dragons. As such, I consider myself to have a wealth of experience to draw upon for both my more formal Coding courses, as well as my D&D games. I look forward to working with your students!

Paul Hair

Hi! My name is Paul Hair, I am a lover of most things nerdy, but the thing I love most is Dungeons & Dragons. I've been playing D&D for 10 years and DMing for the past 8 years. To me dnd is the ability to share your own creativity without fear of judgement, it's a place of acceptance and cooperation. Dungeons and Dragons has helped me to find the creativity within myself, and ever since I strive to make sure everyone who plays in one of my games has the ability to find that creativity within themselves while feeling safe, accepted, and appreciated. When I'm not playing Dungeons and Dragons, I like to play video games, most of which end up being puzzle games. I am formally educated in software development and one of my long term goals is to make and release my own game some day. Some of my favorite pop culture franchises are: Star Wars, Jurassic Park, and MCU and my favorite book series is a tie between The Ender Saga, and the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy franchise.
