Amos first went backpacking with North Carolina Outward Bound when he was 15, and he knew from then that outdoor adventure and experiential education would be his future. After a couple years leading therapeutic adventures in Chicagoland and across the northern Midwest, a semester as the Spanish Apprentice at HMI in 2022, a graduate degree, and three summers on HMI Summer Term faculty, Amos has finally landed in Leadville indefinitely as the Spanish faculty member. Although he’s a Spanish teacher, Amos is a huge fan of multidisciplinary learning, an avid reader (at least aspirationally), and loves to cook, ride bikes on flat ground, and frolic among the wildflowers in the summer Sawatch.
