My name is Andrew Sean Genson. I have been living in Colorado for twenty years (with a year long detour through Chicago, Illinois) and have been teaching for eighteen of those years. After being born in Concord, California, my parents immediately moved me to Dalton, Georgia. Yes, that is the carpet capital of the world for those of you that know your trivia or have been there before. After four years (that I remember oh so well) we moved to Midland, Michigan. Midland is recognized for its connections to the Dow Corporation. My father worked for Dow for nearly 30 years before being let go during my senior year. With this change I knew it was only a matter of time before it impacted me. He immediately got hired by one of the greatest universities in the world, PENN STATE. For any nittany lion fans or alumni; We Are …. With the tuition break that came with being a son of an employee I knew I had to at least check out Happy Valley. I immediately fell in love with it and spent five years at school accumulating a degree in Biology with minors in Marine Science and Business. I understood my calling was education during these five years, but I felt I would be able to get a well rounded education by focusing on the sciences rather than education. After graduation I moved out to Denver and set up shop. I spent a year working in an environmental lab gaining the status of a resident. With this status I went back to school full time while working a full time job. A year and a half flew by and next thing I know student teaching is staring me in the face. Student teaching was a crazy six months, but did I learn a lot and in the process my relationship with my then girlfriend (now wife) grew exponentially. After all of that I have been married for thirteen years and we now have two little ones at home. Our oldest son is Jarek (pronounced J-eric) Tomas Genson. He was born on April 4th, 2012 and he is very much a boy and quite a little bit of an athlete. His younger brother came to us on June 5th, 2014. Maddox Elijah Genson was born about a pound larger then his brother. And most of his life has been on the larger side of things until recently. He has been all ball all the time. Unlike older brother who is a runner and swimmer, this kid loves to throw and catch anything and everything he can get his hands on. Here are some picture of my family.
The 5th member of our family is our little mutt. She is Gizmo (yes her name partially comes from that great 80's movie) and she just turned 6 months old. She is a crazy thing, but we absolutely love her.
Welcome to 8th grade science and feel free to send me an email if you want to know more or if you need any clarification. Have a great day and thanks for taking interest in my web site.
Sincerely,
Andrew Genson
