From America’s Heartland to the city of Brotherly love

Nathan C. BranineEDUS 515

Born in thesuburbs of

Greenwood, Indiana“The Crossroads of

America”

Raised to love all things “Indiana”…

by my parents & grandparents

Two olderbrothers andsister...

who have allmovedto the WestCoast…

With my 3 nieces and nephew :(

Indiana…a great place to be from…

“But in Indiana it's not like New York where everyone's like, 'We're from New York and

we're the best' or 'We're from Texas and we like things big' it's more like 'We're from Indiana

and we're gonna move.‘”-Jim Gaffigan

…And I did!

to Northern Wisconsin??

…and it was LITERALLY IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHWERE

For a degree in sec. ed!

Not much to do inthe frozen North…soI bided my time with

stage productions

And spent my summers & spring breaks traveling…

Throughout North America…

Banff, Alberta

Kenora, Ontario

Seattle, WA Victoria, BC

Montana

and Europe…

Greece

Italy

or working at a camp in Northern California

Then it was time to get a real job…

and teaching is my passion

so I moved to Lansdale, PA in 2005

To teach Social Studies, Health, & P.E.

And Coach Basketball

I Love my students…

Even when they take embarrassing

pictures

And miss them when they move on

Even took a group of my students to Thailand in ‘08.

But after 4yrs it was time to move on…

I moved to Philly in 2009 to get closer to my church &

eventually teach in the city

Spending my free time…

CAMPING

TAKING DAY

TRIPS AND JUST HANGING OUT

The Presentation has ended

But the Journey is to be Continued…
