After doing everything he possibly could to avoid becoming a teacher, Pat began his classroom teaching career as a participant in a transition to teaching program. It took about one day in the classroom for him to realize that a career in education would offer a lifetime of challenges, and he was hooked.
His first decade was spent in a technology education classroom teaching everything from home/office networking to architectural design to video production. In the spring of 2015 he was given the opportunity to transition to the technology department as a systemic innovator, and has since been hooked by the challenges of supporting teachers in developing creative solutions to the same challenges he experienced in his own classroom.
