About+Mr.+Stuckart

Thanks for stopping by to learn a little more about me.

You may already know that teaching is my second career; before this, I spent about fifteen years working in government, public affairs and politics. Among others, I've worked with U.S. Senators Mary Landrieu (when she was running for governor), [|Ron Wyden] and [|Jeff Merkley] and with [|Ambassador Gary Locke] (when he was governor of Washington). As you might expect from my resume, I try to infuse civic awareness and responsibility throughout my lessons, whatever the subject.

What you may not know is that although I was born in Portland, I grew up in and around New Orleans, Louisiana. Although I've always considered Oregon to be my home, New Orleans was a fascinating place to grow up, especially for someone interested in politics. And between growing up in New Orleans and moving to Washington, D.C. and Seattle, Washington for jobs, I'm still a relative newcomer to our state and all it has to offer.

Aside from exploring our state, in my spare time I enjoy spending time with my family, reading, biking, cooking and tackling home improvement projects.

Thanks again for stopping by my "About" me page. I look forward to getting to know you better as the term progresses.
