Band of Brothers | Chris Balmer

This man needs a pair of black flags.

When he’s not plundering doubloons, whittling peg legs, or teaching parrots to sing sea shanties, Chris Balmer teaches pre-school in the Spring Lake Park School District in Minnesota. He also mentors at the school district’s teen center, using theater to foster the kids’ creativity while delivering anti-drug, nonviolence, and diversity tolerance messages. Once he completes a Master’s degree in public policy he’ll pursue a career in law enforcement. (Though we suspect he’s missed his calling as a swashbuckler.)

Thanks for your support and for all you do for the youth of Spring Lake Park, Chris!
