About Me

I'm Dave Hirschman. Welcome to my web site, Homeschool Media Network, home of the Homeschool Social Register and other resources for homeschoolers.

I'm a retired software engineer with over 25 years experience. I was a founder of Phoenix Technologies Ltd. and Connected Corporation.

My wife and I have been homeschooling (actually unschooling) our two boys since 1994, first in Massachusetts and now in Texas.

I wanted to give something back to the homeschooling community, which has added so much to our lives. This web site allows me to do that, and also gives me a good excuse to have a lot of fun writing software! I hope you find that in some small way it supports your own homeschooling efforts.

You can contact me here.

Also, I am sometimes available online via Yahoo Messenger for either text or voice chat.

Here is a page of the tools I use to develop this web site.
