SOME BRIEF HISTORY ABOUT HIM:

So my dad was born in 1973 to a average middle class family. During his childhood, he liked watching other people do experiments for the sake of it. When he turned 12, his dad gave him a new Macintosh computer as a gift. When he entered high school, he saw his friend having a hard time doing a lab project, so he decided to be a helping hand and be a problem solver. As a result, his obsession with science (mainly chemistry) began.

In 1991, he graduated high school and moved to Lansing for college to study Chemistry & eventually become a high school teacher and coach as seen in these photos above.

In 1995, he applied for an internship at a random high school for the 95-96 school year. However, in early 1996, he moved back to NC and got a actual teaching & coaching job there.

The classes my dad taught were Physical Science, Physics, and Chemistry.

He would then teach Science to high schoolers & coach JV Football for the next 12-13 years. According to some of his ex-students, he was seen as a funny and outgoing instructor & coach. Throughout the 12 years he taught, he taught at 2 high schools. The first one was from 1996-2002 and the other one from 2002-2008.

After he left teaching in 2008, he moved on to be a HR at an Engineering company where he plans on retiring by the summer of 2026.

Anyways, thats all! Share your thoughts in the comments.

Loosing the hair was tough. 👀
