Tell us why you became a teacher

I wanted to give back to my country. I served in the Navy, but wanted to do more. That's when I decided to become a teacher. If I can make an impression on just one student it's worth it. I remember how science wasn't fun when I was in school. I aim to make science fun like I do on my YouTube platform.

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

A few weeks ago I was having lunch with my colleagues. As we left a young man approached us asking if I was Mr. Bebermeyer. The young man was a former 3rd grade student from when I taught at Don Brewer Elementary. He informed me that I'm the reason he's studying to become a teacher.

What would you do with the $25,000?

Our school needs a science department, and these funds would be instrumental, putting together a program for our K-8 students as well as our preschool students.
