Program Leader Biosketch

Mike has taken a circuitous route to be the NH Ag in the Classroom coordinator. Originally graduating from UNH's Thompson School with a degree in Horticulture, Mike worked in the landscape/nursery production field for ten years before returning to school to get his degree in Environmental Science from Keene State. After working in the field for a couple years Mike moved into the classroom where he taught for 24 years. During this time he earned his Masters in Geoscience and taught classes in Biology, Earth Science, Environmental Science, Exercise Science and Horticulture. His high school teaching career was mirrored by his summer employment where he worked as a production manager on his family friend's farm. This unique blend of work experience made Mike a perfect candidate as the state coordinator which he is finishing up his first year with the program.
