Chris Kuzcynski
Mr. Kuzcynski was drawn to education upon graduating from the University of Washington when he began teaching engineering design and analysis principles to engineering teams around the Midwest. He transformed the design-to-market product line life cycles by teaching cutting-edge engineering and design technologies at places like the General Motors Advanced Engineering Technical Center. In addition, his STEM experience further broadened as a registered patent attorney with the United States Patent and Trademark Office where he prepared and prosecuted U.S. and PCT patent applications in the mechanical, manufacturing, computer science, telecommunications, networking, medical devices, and business method technical arts.
He brings his scientific, financial, legal, and business background to strengthen the fiscal stability and progress of the school. His vision is to create a thriving educational center that serves the community by providing a safe and purposeful home away from home for children and their parents.
