Bradley+M.

Hello, I am Brad Mayberry. I am a fourth grade teacher here in the Pottstown School District. I have been teaching in the same school, same grade, same classroom for 11 years now. I also live here in Pottstown with my wife of 10 years, my 3 daughters (Brenna, Kaitlyn, and Karrigan) and our 2 wild dogs (Teegan and Bella). I have been waiting for the last 15 years for the right time to begin my Master's program, well, I guess now is as good as any time. This is my first class towards my Master's. Feels kinda funny being the student instead of the teacher. I am looking forward to a relaxing summer with the highlight being our family trip on the Disney cruise this August.

I currently am coaching 2 of my daughters in soccer this Spring, despite the fact that I had my ACL replaced about 3 months ago.
