Mr. Sean Nowland
I cut my teeth as a student teacher at Robert Gray and taught my first year at ACCESS Academy. I graduated from PSU with a BA in Chinese and received an MAT from Concordia University.
I spent most of my adult life as a professional musician, and therefore as a painter and construction worker. I am a martial arts instructor; I have a black belt in Chinese kungfu and a yellow belt in Braziliian jiujitsu. I plan to incorporate as much filmmaking, music production, and art as possible into the curriculum. I love to ride my bike up Mount Tabor and I have a big fat fluffy orange cat named Summie Bear.
