Skip Offenhauser
I was born in San Diego and thought I would live my entire life there. But things change. San Diego changed quite a bit as I grew up and I guess I did too. I attended San Diego State University and majored in speech communication. I had no idea what I'd do with a speech communication degree but I had fun getting it. After graduating one thing led to another and I found myself pursuing a teaching credential. As I look back on things I was a fool for not taking this route sooner.
After receiving my credential I moved to Beaverton, Oregon and shortly after that married the most wonderful woman in the world my wife Kelli. After teaching in Beaverton for 10 years we moved to Bend, Oregon. I am currently the principal of Buckingham Elementary in Bend - a wonderful school of about 550 kids.
Technology is a passion of mine in and out of school. I don't have any techie/wiring skills. Don't ask me what my processor speed is or the difference between ram and rom. I have no idea how computers work or how to program anything. But I know how to use technology to make my job and my life easier and more efficient and I enjoy teaching others how to do the same. And just for the record, I use a Mac. For five years I worked in a district that was Windows only. It was like living in the dark ages!
