Hello - This Is Me!
Brian O’Neill
HistoryI grew up in St. Joseph, Michigan, just
minutes from the beautiful lake shore. I attended Taylor University in the cornfields of Indiana and graduated with a degree in Physics Science Education in 2005.
This is me
Professional 1My first employment was
at Taejon Christian International School in Daejeon, South Korea. From 2005-2010 I taught Math and Physics there.

Professional 2In Sept. 2010 my wife and I moved to Mali, West
Africa to teach at Koutiala Christian Academy. Our students are the children of American doctors working at a women’s and children’s hospital. I’m not teaching Physics this year.

FamilyI met my wife Julie in South Korea at
TCIS, and we were married in 2008.
Our son Caleb was born on Christmas Day 2010, here in Mali.
Our golden lab Sierra has also lived with us in Korea and Mali.

Professional AspirationsI love teaching Physics. My goal is to be an effective
teacher who instills knowledge and curiosity in my students; who shares a contagious passion for Physics; who models positive life skills; and who continually grows professionally.
It is to this last end that I have enrolled in the EDTECH department at Boise State. I hope to learn new ways that technology can be used to elevate students’ interest and comprehension.
This Was Me
I look forward to working with all of you this semester!
