Biography

Hi, I'm Bennie. I graduated with my BFA from the University of Texas at Arlington. I did my student teaching in Arlington at Gunn Junior High. I began working for Edgewood ISD in 1987. Before I became the art teacher here, I worked at Six Flags Over Texas for 13 years in the Southern Belle Portrait Studio, where I hired and trained caricature, sillhouette, and portrait artists. I also graduated in the top of my class at Sam Houston High School in Arlington in 1973.
Besides teaching, I am the Scoutmaster of Boy Scout Troop 426 of Edgewood. I attend various scouting camps during the summer as a leader and counselor. I work as a counselor at Camp Sign, a camp for deaf and hearing impaired children, each summer.
I am married and have 4 children of my own, one daughter and 3 sons, and 20 other sons from Asia, mostly Korean, that have been exchange students in my home.
I love teaching. I love teaching art.
