Chad

Chad is a veteran middle school history teacher with over 20 years of experience wrangling hormonal tweens while passionately sharing stories of the past. A die-hard Chicago Cubs fan and loyal supporter of the Iowa Hawkeyes, Chad can often be found yelling at the TV during games—or muttering about the "good ol’ days" of sports.

When he’s not in the classroom or cheering on his teams, Chad is spending time with his wife and their three kids, who still somehow manage to keep him on his toes. With a knack for turning history into hilarity, Chad brings a unique blend of wisdom, wit, and world-class dad jokes to every episode of Teachers Lounge Unedited.

Mike

Mike is a high school math teacher with over 15 years of experience turning numbers into something (occasionally) less terrifying. A proud Washington State Cougars fan, Mike bleeds crimson and gray—even when his team makes him question all his life choices.

Married to his high school sweetheart, Mike and his wife are navigating the exciting chaos of raising three kids who are rapidly entering their teenage years (pray for them). With a passion for helping students conquer math and a knack for making even the toughest equations seem approachable, Mike brings humor, heart, and a love for learning to Teachers Lounge Unedited.
