Mentors

I helped start team Firewall with Mr. Fulmer in 2014. I've seen a lot of change since then, but no matter who we have on the team, we are always an AWESOME team!

While I enjoy working with all our teams, I am most passionate about electrical (sorry build, I love you too!). I love seeing students learn a tough concept like electricity. Even better is to see them teach each other!

One last thing. I could not do anything I do without our awesome mentors. They are the lifeblood of this team. All credit goes to them.

I started mentoring the team when my son joined the team in 2018.  In 2019 my son graduated out of the program, but I found mentoring too rewarding to stop.  I mainly focus on mentoring the team's "vision" programming, but I will often float over to any team that needs assistance.

I've worked in the tech industry my entire adult life, and am constantly amazed at our students ability to learn new things and tackle obstacles along the way.
