Dave Goodwin is a warm-hearted 48-year-old tech educator from Texas, passionate about making technology simple and approachable for seniors and beginners.

Growing up in Austin and now a devoted husband and father of two, Dave has spent years teaching computer science and helping others overcome the fear and frustration that often comes with using new devices. When his own parents struggled to navigate their smartphones and found online tutorials overwhelming and confusing, Dave saw the need for a clearer, kinder approach to tech guidance.

With a background in education and a deep empathy for those feeling left behind by rapid digital change, Dave brings patience, clarity, and heart to his books. He understands firsthand how things like vision challenges or unfamiliar terms can make learning technology feel impossible—and he’s on a mission to change that.

Outside the classroom, Dave enjoys playing guitar, volunteering at church, and fixing up cars, but his true passion lies in helping others feel confident and in control when using modern tech. Through his straightforward guides, Dave empowers readers to embrace technology at their own pace, one simple step at a time.
