Om Lars

I am a high school science teacher living near Philadelphia. I grew up in a Southbury, CT and went to college at Wittenberg University in Springfield, Ohio. In a addition to public school teaching, I've worked for the National Marine Fisheries Service collecting catch data while living aboard commercial fishing boats in the Bering Sea of Alaska. I've also taught marine biology in the Florida Keys, worked as a Naturalist in California, and spent 2 winters as a ski bum in North Lake Tahoe. My passions are skiing, pole vaulting (I coach and still try to do it myself), kite surfing, environmental issues, being a father, and watching the Minnesota Vikings predictably blow it every year. I have a son and daughter born in 2004 and 2005.
