Math

Born and raised in the western suburbs, Mr. Breiling graduated from Penn State University with a degree in Science, then went on to Drexel for his Masters. He proudly served for ten years in the United States Marine Corps Reserve, attaining the rank of Staff Sergeant. In addition to the usual infantry skills, the Marines were host to a wide variety of experiences, including cross-country skiing, underwater helicopter evacuation, petroleum firefighting, but to be honest, Mr. Breiling would rather be in the classroom.

Mr. Breiling has been teaching since 1993 in public and charter schools in Philadelphia, after surviving a short stint as a substitute teacher. He's taught Computer Science, Biology, and Chemistry, but his true passion is teaching Math, which he's done with students from fourth through twelfth grade. In his spare time Mr. Breiling dabbles in various activities on a randomly rotating schedule. These include piano, drawing, writing about education reform, and pyrotechnics. With regards to the last hobby, Mr. Breiling is a trained pyrotechnician, and has either choreographed or worked on fireworks displays in Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Vermont, Iowa and Virginia. As the son and grandson of architects and artists, Mr. Breiling is thrilled to be teaching here at CHAD.
