About Tom Bredemeier

I ran a manufacturing company for 25 years before I became a teacher. For over 100 years, our family business made fabric sample cards for the textile industry. After we sold the business in 2003 I went back to school full time for 3 years in order to become a high school math teacher. I now teach computer science classes, which I really enjoy. I can\'t believe how much fun it is to work with high school students everyday. It\'s the best job I have ever had!
