Mr. Philipson

Lil Philipson grew up in Florida, never thought he would be a teacher and had no interest in science. I loved to surf, skateboard, and thought I would be a photographer.

After traveling the world I knew there was more to science than formulas and vocabulary. It's about putting the world together and making it your own.

Went to college and got a degree in Chemistry. Worked in a lab for a few years and hated being locked in a cage all day everyday.

Found my homie, Ms. Piggy, and we moved throughout Colorado snowboarding. I taught at a middle school in Gunnison and Environmental Science at the Rocky Mountain Biological Laboratory.

This is my weird, crazy, stressful but fun family.

I love biking, A LOT!!! enough said.

This will be my fourth year teaching science at Coal Ridge. Love the community, the mountains, and the shredding.

I'm also the sponsor for the Coal Ridge Skin' Ride club where we bring the STEEZ!

Oh yeah, my favorite show is Star Trek...blah blah blah...
