Michael Severino Patterson

Michael grew up on the banks of the Iowa River in North Liberty, IA.  In between Oberlin and his graduate work at University of Iowa, Michael ran a small vegetable farm, taught environmental education and worked as a Peace Corps Volunteer in Ecuador doing sustainable agriculture.  He met his wife Jackie in Ecuador and they have a 15 month old daughter, Millie.  He is very excited to be Scattergood's new Biology/Environmental Science teacher, and cannot wait to find new ways to integrate the school's prairie and farm into the science curriculum.
