Mr. Matt Badley |
Mr. Matthew Badley is returning to teach for
his eighth year here at Trinity Prep. Mr. Badley has taught Latin, math and

After
graduating from Thomas Aquinas College, Mr. Badley worked variously as a
See’s Candies clerk, a Seattle hotel manager, a data analyst at Boeing
Commercial Aircraft Group, and a long-term care insurance salesman with
General Electric. In the spring of 2000, he was accepted into the USAF. However, during the time his application was being reviewed, he had been
helping out at Trinity by substitute teaching. By the time he heard that he
had been accepted by the Air Force, he had already realized that he really
enjoyed teaching, and decided to forgo the military life.
After
five years of full time teaching, while his family grew, practically
exponentially, he was hired by Queen of the Valley Hospital, as a data
analyst, but continues to teach part-time. His wife Heidi and their
children reside in American Canyon. |
