Tyler Anderson I am originally from the great state of Washington. I received a B.S. in aviation from Central Washington University and a M.A. in education from Pacific Lutheran University. After living my entire life in dreary, rainy western Washington I decided to pack up and move to Arizona. I have been here for almost a year now, and absolutely love it.
When I am not at school you can find me outside. As well as swimming, kayaking, and biking, I have two dogs that love to go hiking with me. We have explored much of the hiking trails in the area already and can't wait to find some more fun spots.
I have a real passion for the value of education in our society. With a background in aviation I am excited to not only share some real world application for the skills we learn in math class, but to share some experiences and discuss opportunities that exist after high school.
