Bio
Robert Miller
Dom is one of the best and knowledgeable instructors that I have ever had, and would highly recommend him!
Andy Yasger
While Dom was never my instructor at Moraine Park, he taught me most of what I know today about HTML and CSS way back in 7th grade, and in only 3 days at that. He was always super helpful when I was working with him, and I know enough to the point where the course I took at Madison College this fall was basically a refresher course, teaching me only a few things here and there. Back when I worked with Dom, HTML5 was not a thing, and everything that I learned in my class was introduced in the HTML spec. Essentially, Dom managed to cover everything existing in HTML at the time that is covered in introductory college courses, in the span of about 10 man hours, and he did it in a clear, concise manner that was easy to grasp. If that doesn't tell you everything you need to know about his skills in teaching students, then I don't know what can!
