Who am I?
Who am I?
My name is Mr. Sands and I am a middle school teacher of technology at Urbana Middle School in Urbana, IL. I am privileged to teach 6th, 7th, and 8th grade students about using computers, technology, and various applications for both creative and productive means. I hope my classes are some of the most fun and provoking experiences my students will have at UMS :)

Born in Des Moines, Iowa and then later raised in Danville, IL, I ultimately moved to Southern California to attend college. I am a distinguished and proud graduate of Chapman University in Orange, California (Go Panthers!). I have two bachelor's degrees: a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Film Production and a Bachelor of Science in Marketing.

Several years ago, I decided to move back to central Illinois and enrolled at Eastern Illinois University in Charleston, Illinois (Go Panthers!) to obtain my license to teach. I am now certified to teach elementary school (grades K-6), and junior high/middle school (5-9). I have taught English Language Arts and Mathematics, but I am also certified to teach Science and Social Studies.

Outside of school I love to play golf, tennis, ultimate frisbee, disc golf, volleyball, and softball. I am also an avid cyclist. In 2019, I completed the annual R.A.G.B.R.A.I. ride across the state of Iowa over the course of a week. It was fun, but exhausting.

I love many types of music, but some of my favorite genres include 80s, soul, funk, alternative, punk rock, old school rap, reggae, and ska.

One last fun fact, I am a huge fan of live music shows and baseball games (Go Dodgers!).
