Tell us why you became a teacher

Originally I wanted to be a police officer. When I began to work night shift at a mental health facility I learned quickly that I wanted to do more and become actively involved and possibly make a difference. I started working on a social work degree and began to teach Social Wellness at a behavioral health school.

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

Each year at graduation I always have a memorable time. It is the first time you can truly start to see how the work you have done with students is working.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I'm honestly not sure but I do know that I would make it count. I think I would take my wife and kids on a vacation that they deserve.
