1

Why did you choose to become a math teacher?

I was originally going to be a history teacher, and then I switched my major to math in college. So I said, “I guess I’m going to teach math.”

2What was your first job? I was a pizza delivery guy. 4

What’s something you couldn’t live without?

Probably my phone. Not during school, though!

8

Do you have any special talents?

I like to beatbox.

3

What’s your favorite album?

I don’t know that I have a favorite album, but the one I listen to most is this album called Other People’s Heartache (Pt. 4). It’s with Bastille.

5Are socks and sandals ever acceptable? 9

Generally no, it’s not my favorite work. If you’re just going out to get the mail, I get it, but that’s it.

6

What’s your favorite fall activity?

I really like going apple picking.

What’s the coolest place that you’ve traveled to?

Probably Israel. I like going there, I’ve been a few times. I also really liked when I went to Whistler, Canada, and I got to do this mountain climbing thing. They have this metal ladder put into the mountain, so you’re effectively climbing the mountain. That was cool.

7

If you could only eat one food for the rest of your, what would you eat?

Maybe pizza, but I don’t know. Or a hamburger because my last name is Newburger.

10

Is cereal a soup?

It’s not.
