Dave has been with the ESC since 2011 when he was hired to manage the Lorain County Distance Learning Consortium. The videoconferencing consortium has consistently grown since its creation. In 2007, under his leadership, the department expanded its mission to include technologies beyond “distance learning.” The Northern Ohio Research & Training Technology Hub (NORT2H) was created. Now a staff of four, the department seeks to explore the potential impact emerging technologies can have inside the classroom, assisting teachers through the development of successful professional development opportunities.
Dave’s background in classroom instruction coupled with his marketing and business training provides him with a unique blend to provide services to NORT2H customers. Dave has played a primary role in the development and implementation of projects at the ESC including the ESC conference room renovation, NORT2H green screen studio, and the deployment of ongoing professional development to its members.
Dave enjoys living in Avon Lake, Ohio with his wife Sarah Miller, a music teacher and their daughter Raegan. He enjoys spending time with family, golfing, water sports, and auto restoration.

Andreas Johansson was born and raised in Sweden, and moved with his family to the United States in High School. He brings this unique cultural perspective to his approach to education as he strives to merge the different worldviews that shaped his own experience. Through years of experience teaching with technology, Andreas has developed a number of fun and exciting ways to effectively integrate technology standards with everyday curriculum.
He is a non-traditional educator in that he entered the field only after having worked in the private industry. After a few years in a cubicle, Andreas went back to school to earn his Masters degree in teaching from Kent State University so that he could pursue his passion for education. Now, his interest lies in creating dynamic events that shape the way we teach, helping teachers effectively and practically integrate technology into their teaching, ultimately impacting the young learners we live to serve. He has taught multiple district-level workshops on technology and curriculum integration, and currently hosts a workshop on the practical aspects of classroom technology at Kent State University.
Andreas lives in Tallmadge with his wife Jaelithe, a freelance copywriter and editor, and their two children, Emelie and Oskar. He enjoys spending time with family, hiking in the outdoors, and working around the house.
