Michael Oechsle: I journeyed to education from a business and landscape architecture background. Prior to moving to Hillsborough in 2001, I worked as a project manager and designer for a Seattle-area landscape architecture firm specializing in public park design. When my second child was born, I resigned that position to be a stay-at-home father and a part-time photographer. I began my teaching experience at Hillsborough Elementary School as a Reading Recovery tutor in 2003, when my son and daughter had just become Dolphins themselves. After deciding to pursue my teaching certification, I spent a year as the 5th grade teaching assistant at Pathways Elementary and then came to HES to fill the same position. Over several years I worked as an assistant in the 2nd and 4th grades as well. The school's Art Teacher position became available near the end of 2010, and since then I've felt very fortunate to be teaching a subject I love at a school that feels like home!
