Peter Braaten

Mr. Braaten is a teacher, ...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... musician, kick boxer, ocean sailer, mechanic, magician, islander cabin builder, mathematician, composer, mountain climber, recording artist, binary video game programmer,  public speaker, plumber, electrician, catapult builder, traveller, and father.  He does none of these things particularly well, but is always willing to try new things even if only partially successful.  It is always more interesting to try new things and not always succeed than sit and watch the Tik-Tok.  The measure of a person is not what they do in moments of success, but rather how they respond to failure.  And Mr. Braaten has failed at many things, but through those failures he has learned a lot too.
