"Mr. Martin has been teaching Physical Sciences (chemistry, physics, astronomy, Earth science) at Olympus since 2009. He has studied at the University of Utah (BS Chemistry, MS Physics Teaching) as well as Weber State and BYU. He enjoys speculative fiction (science fiction, fantasy, and superheroes) and watching sports (college football, baseball, and ice hockey). He enjoys all kinds of music except opera, death metal, gangsta rap, and whiny protest songs from the 60s. He is an unapologetic purveyor of puns. Don't say you weren't warned."

“Hi! I am Mr. Vanier (Mr. V for short). I am incredibly excited to be teaching Earth Science and AP Environmental Science here at Olympus. This is my 14th year in education and 11th year in the classroom. Over the last 14 years, I have taught pre-school to 12 grade and I have loved it! I have a BS in Biology from Lafayette College (Easton, PA), a MA in Teaching from St. Mary’s College of California (Moraga, CA), a MS in Earth Science from the University of Utah (Salt Lake City, UT) and am an National Board Certified Teacher. I am Canadian. I was born in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. Before living in Utah, I lived in Hong Kong, Taipei, Los Angeles, Toronto, Miami, rural Pennsylvania, Catalina Island (CA) and the San Francisco Bay Area. I have a 4 year old daughter and a 1 year old son They are incredibly fun and keep me really busy.”
