Marcel Duhaime
My name is Marcel Duhaime and I am 58 years old. I first met my wife, Beth, when we were 16. At that time we would each spend our summers on the shores of Lake Winnipesaukee in NH. Sadly, it took me almost 20 years to come to my senses and finally ask her out! This has been, without a doubt, the smartest decision I’ve ever made. We have one son, Sawyer, who is a student at Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD) where he studies Industrial Design.
I am also a proud member of the U. S. Coast Guard Academy’s class of 1986. After serving tours in Honolulu, Boston and Washington, DC, I decided to pursue a career in education. I have been teaching math, computer science and engineering at the high school level for over 25 years.
In my TEDx presentation I plan to talk about the difference between what I am required to teach and what businesses look for in their future employees. Sadly, they are not one in the same!
