  • Hi There! I’m Daniel, a native New Jerseyan currently rooted in Nashville. First and foremost I’m looking forward to be a part of your journey in learning ASL and the culture which it encompasses. I’ve been professionally involved within Deaf/HH community for over 35 years. In addition to teaching ASL to beginners, I’ve been a teacher, career advisor, and summer crew work supervisor. Personally I’m definitely an outdoors person, avid runner, and nature enthusiast.

  • Hey! I’m Jenny, a proud Deaf woman born & raised in East Tennessee. I am currently living in Middle Tennessee with my husband and our four children. I’m so excited to see your interest in learning my heart language, American Sign Language, and about the Deaf World! Teaching ASL and Deaf Culture to homeschoolers these past few years has become a passion of mine. Some fun facts about me: I enjoy camping, playing games, and spending time with my family.
