As a Mad Scientist with The Edgerton Explorit Center where teaches about science (aka gets to blow things up) and our in-house bee expert, John Boeder is our team nerd who just happens to have a background in Ag Education and leads a staff of over 20 from high school aged to adults, so you could say he knows a thing or two, because he's seen a thing or two.

Kurt pulls his leadership theories from the best of the best: our Navy Seals and war heroes. In another life though, Kurt would be a dad-joke musical comedy act. In the professional world, he has served as a high school Agricultural Education teacher for over 30 years.

Samuel started as an intern in the summer of 2024. Originating from the Republic of the Congo as an elementary school teacher, Samuel excels at getting the rooms attention with his humor, zest for life, and maybe a little bit because of his accent.

Ashley also excels in connection, but more out of force having lived in X places by the time she was X. We consider her one of America's superheroes as an Agriculture Education teacher. She excels at reading people and teams - nothing gets past her!
