Mr. Burgos' Life Story
I grew up on the Southside of Milwaukee with my parents and my two brothers. My older brother, Eric, lives in Waukesha with his wife and my two adorable nieces. My younger brother Evan, still lives in Milwaukee and plays on a semi-pro football team. My father was born in Puerto Rico and my mom was an “army brat”, so she grew up all over the country.
I attended 55th St School growing up, which is now the MilwaukeeSpanishImmersionSchool. I then went to Milwaukee School of Languages for sixth thru eighth grades and graduated from VincentHigh School. I received my bachelor degree in Elementary Education at the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse where I swam all four years. While in college I was fortunate enough to study abroad in Spain for six months. During this time I was also able to visit Egypt, Germany, Morocco, and Italy.
I have been teaching since 2003 and I have been at Cumberland since 2006. I have recently completed my masters degree in Curriculum & Instruction and gained extensive training on Differentiated Instruction.
I presently live in Grafton with my wonderful wife Alissa, our spoiled little dog Dobey and our new baby boy Cole. My wife is a commercial underwriter with Acuity Insurance in Sheboygan, my son keeps me very busy and Dobey runs the house. Outside of school I am the head coach of the Grafton Girls’ swim team and a part-time coach with the Ozaukee Aquatics, a private swim club. In my free time I like to read, cook, play video games, and train for triathlons.
Teaching, in my opinion, is the best job around. Everyday I get the opportunity to share my love of learning with children and help them build the skills, knowledge, and confidence to be successful individuals. I look forward to getting to know each and every one of you as we grow and learn together.
