Geoffrey Norris

Agriculture Teacher at Buckeye Local School District

Greater Cleveland

About

The experience I have came from working on Firsthaven Farm in rural Wayne County, Ohio. I knew that with agriculture being an ever changing field that I must learn to adapt, this is where my technology interest was sparked. I love working with groups and motivating them to best better leaders and people.
