Alex joins the VEEP team after six years in the classroom as a middle school science teacher in Maine and Massachusetts. As a teacher, Alex’s physical science curriculum centered on climate change and renewable energy. Alex graduated from UVM with a focus in Green Building, and has his MeD in Secondary Education from Lesley University. Prior to teaching, Alex worked as a coach and camp counselor, sharing his love for the outdoors with his students. Alex loves hiking, biking, surfing, and skiing, and hopes that his passions being outside can be shared by all of his students, young and old. Alex lives in Bolton Valley with his wife.
