Hi, I'm Mr. Halverson! I was born in Chicago, Illinois, and have lived in the Chicagoland area for my whole life. After graduating high school, I attended Oakton Community College where I acquired my associates degree in arts before transferring to Western Michigan University for my Bachelor's degree in English with a minor in philosophy and Master's degree in education. I'm a cat dad to one precious little baby named Cilantro, pictured on the left, and everywhere else on this website. When I'm not teaching, you can find me on a hiking trail, at a punk show or gaming on my couch (I can and will beat you in MarioKart).
