About Me

My name is Jeremy Milliron. I am 24 years old and I live in Bend, OR. I have been married for two years this Sunday to my wife Cassie. We have a one and a half year old Beagle/Pitbull puppy named Dexter (he is named after the TV show because we love it). I am working at Pepsi right now pretty much just sitting on a fork lift all day which is actually kind of awesome. I am beginning my fifth year of coaching Mountain View High School's freshman boy's basketball team. I have been coaching ever since I got out of high school and I really like doing it other than a few times a year when it is insanely frustrating. My interests involve basketball (watching, playing and coaching), football (watching and playing fantasy football), good beer (I live in the beer capital of the world, it would be blasphemy not to love it), and watching TV (Modern Family, It's Always Sunny, Dexter, etc.). I am into anything that makes me laugh or smile, I would say that having fun is my biggest hobby. I graduated with a bachelor's in mathematics at the University of Oregon (Go Ducks!) last year and am at Willamette now. When I am done I will be able to teach middle school and high school math and hopefully someday get my PE credentials. At this point I prefer to teach high school because I coach high school basketball and have really had fun with that age group. High schoolers are realizing their dreams and creating future goals, but also very impressionable which makes the role of high school teachers so important. I want to teach because I feel like I have a gift for teaching and it is the only job that I can see myself having for an extended period of time. It is hard to explain (as I am sure it is for most people), but someone who is a teacher probably knows what I am talking about.

  1. Well stated. Your desire to teach comes from within. I'm looking forward to working with you this year.
