00:01:08,810 — 00:01:09,920
audience
15
00:01:09,920 — 00:01:14,90
sure well I grew up it exactly in the
area where i live right now I haven’t
16
00:01:14,90 — 00:01:15,320
ventured too far
17
00:01:15,320 — 00:01:21,320
I grew up in the Boston area 10 miles
north of boston and right now I live in
18
00:01:21,320 — 00:01:25,610
Nashua New Hampshire which is everything
in New England is really close by so
19
00:01:25,610 — 00:01:32,119
it’s about 30 miles away from Boston and
I grew up a kid who was a very much a
20
00:01:32,119 — 00:01:37,820
science geek and i was very lucky to
live within a train ride of really cool
21
00:01:37,820 — 00:01:42,318
place in boston called the Boston Museum
of Science and i ended up working there
22
00:01:42,319 — 00:01:46,729
for about 20 years all through teenage
years after high school and my friends
23
00:01:46,729 — 00:01:51,560
are working at mcdonalds i was at the
Museum and working with some really cool
24
00:01:51,560 — 00:01:56,509
scientists and science educators and I
did pretty much every job you can do at
25
00:01:56,509 — 00:02:01,639
the Museum I was a i worked in the live
animal center i sold tickets i worked in
26
00:02:01,639 — 00:02:06,560
the library I worked in the laser shows
at the planetarium and then eventually I
27
00:02:06,560 — 00:02:11,600
get to teach my own classes mentor other
teachers and even let safari to Africa
28
00:02:11,600 — 00:02:17,180
so that was the beginning of what later
turned into my regular career as a
29
00:02:17,180 — 00:02:22,220
elementary teacher and then eventually
is a science educator at the university
30
00:02:22,220 — 00:02:29,240
level training new teachers so that’s it
that quick nutshell is an awful lot of
31
00:02:29,240 — 00:02:33,110
to fill in with how did you get started
with running
32
00:02:34,580 — 00:02:39,800
so running actually I’ve only been
running for about five years now and
33
00:02:39,800 — 00:02:44,300
what happened was actually it was a kind
of a sad situation but we turned it into
34
00:02:44,300 — 00:02:53,60
a good thing my brother Mark and I
started running to fund a special
35
00:02:53,60 — 00:02:57,230
initiative at my mom’s hospital
Spaulding rehab and and boston
36
00:02:57,230 — 00:03:02,660
