I visited the Sky Garden in London. It's about 40 stories high on top of a building & it's maintained by adults w/special needs. It was so beautiful & a reminder of what the human spirit is capable of! #purposematters

While on vacation, Mary & I celebrated our 23rd anniversary! I married the most beautiful woman in the world & feel so blessed that we get to share our life together! I love you Mary!

Stopped into Gabe's & saw this graduate working hard while applying the skills he learned in the ConnectEd program. Keep up the great work Nathan! #oneheartbeat #hardworkmatters #purposematters

Otsego ConnectEd started 3 years ago with lofty goals. Here's current employment rates for adults w/special needs: Nationality: 22.5% Ohio: 35.8% ConnectEd Students: 77.7% (includes students going to trade school post HS graduation). So proud of these students! #oneheartbeat

Checked in on another Otsego Graduate who's applying what he learned at his new job at the Goodwill in BG! Super proud of this young man! #oneheartbeat #hardworkmatters

Something worth remembering everyday! #KindnessMatters

Such a powerful message! #truth

Good to be in a place where you are appreciated! #thankyou

Every year I start my class with the students arranging the room according to these specifications. It's a great way to give students ownership of the room while learning about how they work in groups. Here are before/after pics. #whyiteach #oneheartbeat

Few things warm my heart as an educator more than getting a text from a recent graduate saying he got a full time job with additional benefits. #oneheartbeat #theotsegoknights #whyiteach

Supporting a great organization & seeing one of our favorite bands...& We got a picture with them. Such kind people! #sunshinecommunities #GirlNamedTom

A new batch of future workers ready to make the Otsego community proud. Currently, they're sorting, organizing, & reshelving books at the Otsego Elementary library. #oneheartbeat #hardworkmatters #whyiteach

Half as many workers today means these ConnectEd workers have to work twice as hard. They're absolutely up for the task! #hardworkmatters #oneheartbeat
