Tom Strong

Yeah, I have a web page. Why does everyone seem to find that fact so amusing?

What do I do?

Professionally

My resume is on line. I'm actively looking once again for either a contract or permanent substitute position as a physics or math teacher starting in the fall of 2009, so if you know of anything that fits please let me know.

In my spare time

In my spare time I am the Region V Scouting and Youth Services Chairman for Alpha Phi Omega, I am the Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the Alpha Phi Omega, Kappa Chapter Foundation, I "fix things" for Hundred Acres Manor, I'm the Fort Pitt District Advancement Chairman and I work with the Greater Pittsburgh Council Venturing Committee of the Boy Scouts, I occasionally help out with AB Tech at CMU and from time to time I help out as a member of the Carnegie Mellon Admissions Council. I've probably left a few things out, if I remember them I'll add them.

I also maintain a few web sites

Where did I go to school? What did I study?

I spent my high school years at Bethel Park High School and then moved on from there to studying physics and engineering at CCAC. After two years there I transferred to Carnegie Mellon where I studied physics, computer science, and mathematics, and then I went on to study education in graduate school at Duquesne.

Why tomstrong.org?

Well, the "tomstrong" part should be pretty self-explanitory. As for why ".org" and not ".com" or something in ".name", the latter didn't exist when I registered the domain and the former just didn't seem right for what at the time was a personal page. Shortly afterward I tried to go back and get the .com version but a domain squatter beat me to it. I'd like to have it, but not enough to pay their $1300 asking price.

I also have pages on Facebook, MySpace, Picasa, and a few other places. Those are my only accounts on those sites. If you see my name on another one it's not me despite what it claims.
