🐾We would like to extend a warm Panther welcome to our new CTE/GI-TEC Construction Trades teacher Mitchell Acker!🐾Mr. Acker has extensive experience in the construction industry, and we are excited to have him here at APS! Now let's learn a little bit more about Mr. Acker in his own words:
"I have been involved with the construction industry since 2000. Specifically framing and design in the Grand Rapids area, building around 35 homes per year. After earning my teaching degree from Central Michigan University in early 2013, I moved to North Carolina where my wife was working at the time and I began teaching elementary school In Greenville, NC. We soon found out how much we were missing our families and moved back to Michigan in 2016. As a former student in the carpenter shop at Central Michigan University, I was hired full time to assist the Architectural Trades department at CMU. After a two year apprenticeship I received Journeyman status and was promoted to a Journeyman Carpenter Position. I have spent the last eleven years with CMU until a colleague presented the APS posting for a building trades instructor!!!
I look forward to helping students gain more knowledge of both residential and commercial construction industries. I have many construction resources from relationships I have built over the years and I crave the opportunity to connect Gratiot County students with these resources.
Outside of work, I enjoy adventures with my wife and two children. Specifically lots of family fishing and bike riding. We love taking family trips up north to Indian River where we enjoy kayaking, fishing, boating, bike rides and beach time!"
