As an undergraduate, John Fleming wanted to be a teacher. After getting credentialed, his first student teaching assignment was unpleasant. He worked in many industries, got a cushy government job and even started a Crossfit gym in his family's garage with his wife. Ultimately, teaching was calling him. Finally, at age 40 after returning to school to get his Masters degree - he landed his first teaching job. Thirteen years later he pinches himself because he loves his work so much.
