Chatting with my students on IM

Mr. Davidson is currently considering following Mrs. Bahnsen’s hobbies (not listed in her bio) and will start base jumping, parachuting, bungee-jumping… pretty much jumping out of and off of anything.

Your favorite things about AE21 are: The students! Especially as they come from many different walks of life. They are unique and learning about them enriches me. I choose to be a teacher because of them. I find myself looking forward to Mondays at the close of each week. I also enjoy John “Da Messenga” Bedell and his Christian Rap.

History: Mr. Davidson was employed in many odd jobs while a college student; the highlights being a fire fighter, EMT, boiler plant operator, sewer plant engineer, and assistant lab instructor in the nursing department. However his love for children and later enjoyment in working with high school students became is true passion, following his second year in college. After returning from Palau as a student missionary, Mr. Davidson enrolled in education and completed his business degree simultaneously.

It was at his first teaching position that Mr. Davidson began working with Brian Hartman on developing a program where high school could be taught on the Internet. Mr. Davidson participated in that online high school program for six years before joining up with AE21.

Mr. Davidson can be found in the beautiful mountains surrounding Colville, WA located in the north east corner of Washington State. You may be surprised to learn that when he goes to his office in town, he carries a chain saw in his truck in the event a tree should fall across his county road.

When Mr. Davidson completes all of his work and wants stress relief, he rewards himself by tearing it up in the national forests that surround three sides of his ranch.
