About Me

Hi, and welcome! My name is Matt. I am a teacher. I have been a public school teacher for the past 14 years. My teaching adventures have brought me to variety of places around the country. I have taught in Nebraska, Connecticut, Massachusetts, and, of course, Michigan! The majority of my career has been at the 5th grade level.

Regardless of where I taught, one glaring problem that always amazed (and concerned!) me was how little my students knew about the town they were living in and the surrounding areas. My goal is to change that.

I love Michigan! This state is filled with amazing people, stories, and unmatched natural beauty and I want to help you teach your students about it!

As teachers, we’ve all come across a great resource and then laughed at the cost of membership. That won’t happen here. I know first hand that teachers purchase things with their own money. I want to help you teach your students the fundamental skills of reading and writing while learning about this great state! Let’s work together to spark the interest in local history, local adventure, and strengthen communities!
