BRIAN CORBETT
Brian Corbett grew up in the town of Felton, California, just outside of Santa Cruz. He traded the redwoods for the beach to attend college at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo and graduated in 2003 with a degree in Business Administration and a minor in History. He then - somewhat reluctantly - traded the beach for suburbia and moved to Walnut Creek to begin a career as an accountant. Two years of cubicles, ten-keys, and "TPS Reports" was plenty, and when an opportunity to jump straight into the classroom came in 2006, he took it. He taught for three years at El Dorado Middle School, six years at Clayton Valley High School, and came to Northgate in 2015. In June of 2015, Brian completed his Masters' in Educational Leadership as well as his Administrative Services Credential. He is a dad to Ellie and Luke, and is thrilled to be teaching at his wife's alma mater - Northgate. |
