This is my second year as the Technology and Engineering Instructor at Pine Island High School. I also coach the High School Football team and the 8th grade Baseball team. I absolutely love anything that has to do with Technology and Engineering. My whole life I have been a problem solver, which in simplest terms is what an engineer does. The Pine Island High School Technology and Engineering department employs a vast range tools, machines, and equipment that has given me great opportunities to reach many students through hands-on project based learning. My goal in every class I teach is to get every student up out of their seat putting together their thoughts and ideas to create solutions for the world they live in. Before becoming a teacher I attended UW-Stout where I earned my Bachelors Degree in Technology Education.
