001My name is Brandon Brown and I am a teacher here at Olympic High School. I went to Tracyton Elementary and then to Fairview Junior High, and then here to Olympic High School for 10th, 11th, and 12th grade. I graduated in 1992, played football, and I was passionate about computer aided drafting. And then I would trade school for computer aided drafting. And then I became a computer aided drafting teacher, among many other things, here at Olympic High School. In 2001, when I went to high school here, it was under construction and my CAD class was out in a portable outback. And my senior year we got to move into the building, into the new CAD classroom. Eight years after that, I was a teacher in that classroom and, taught in that classroom for 15 years. And
002then I got to be a part of the planning and of the remodel here, particularly with my space, which I think is neat. And I'm now teaching here in this great new space here at Olympic High School. Another unique perspective that I offer students is when I was working out in industry that I was an employer. I love, managed the production facility of a company and hired people, in fact, hired students from Olympic High School, which is how I got involved in the school and how I found out there was an opening. So I get to offer students, you know, perspective from the real employment world, before they're getting into it. But I hope it helps them out as well, like working with kids, they make me feel young, and I just like to see
003the light bulb turn on. And I get to share knowledge, which I think is really neat and just, pass on kind of some of the things that I've learned throughout my life and hopefully to them to make their lives better.
