Karl is a passionate K-6 teacher who revels in motivating, educating and informing his students. He specializes in all things digital; from coding to robotics to VR and AR and AI!

He also tutored for New South Wales University on Recreational Facility management. A sea change some fifteen years ago saw him step over to the education precinct. Noted for not sitting still for too long..in 2017 he made the shift to full-time Digital Technologies teaching and presenting.
