After working 9 years in the information technology industry, Ian Sobczak seized the opportunity in 2014 to pursue a career teaching a subject he loves in Goose Creek Consolidated Independent School district (GCCISD), the very district he graduated from. Since then, Sobczak has been teaching computer maintenance and technician classes at Stuart Career Tech P-Tech High School (SCTHS) in Baytown, Texas. Mr. Sobczak’s passion for technology and zeal for customer service attracts students to the IT Academy. Mr. Sobczak’s classes are popular due to his approachability and the professional rapport he builds with his students. The students who later graduate do so prepared to competitively enter the 21st century workforce with the same excitement and gusto that Mr. Sobczak exhibits. In his spare time, Mr. Sobczak enjoys spending time with his wife and loved ones, building computers, and offering his tech expertise for everything from home theater installation to computer maintenance and repair.
