Shane Cepalia: How long have you been teaching at Law?

Mr. Beale: If I count backwards I think this is my fourth year here.

SC: If you went to college, where did you go?

MB: I went to Central Connecticut State University, CCSU.

SC: What do you enjoy doing in your spare time?

MB: I tend to do a lot of volunteer work – some that is construction related, some that is not, and when I’m not doing that I enjoy taking hikes outside.

SC: What is your favorite subject to teach?

MB: Probably Wood Shop.

SC: Why did you decide to become a teacher?

MB: I didn’t know what else to do, and I was told I had to give college the good old try. And after giving it a try and teaching a class to what were like fourth graders, I really enjoyed the experience, and I thought I could do this and I never looked back.
