About Zeb
Zeb’s path to teaching didn’t start in a classroom—it started on a stage. A trained musician with a background in performance, he brings that same sense of creativity, rhythm, and presence into his work with students every day. After earning his Master’s in Education, he began teaching upper elementary and middle school, where he quickly became known for creating classrooms that feel alive—full of curiosity, connection, and hands-on discovery.

Whether he’s guiding students through a project, weaving music and storytelling into lessons, or helping them see how learning connects to the real world, Zeb has a gift for meeting kids where they are and drawing them in. His approach is rooted in strong relationships and a deep belief that students learn best when they feel known, engaged, and inspired.

Now a 3rd/4th grade teacher at Prairie Crossing Charter School, Zeb is excited to bring his energy and student-centered leadership to Summer Farm Camp. For him, camp is more than a place—it’s an experience where kids can explore, create, take risks, and grow in ways that stick with them long after summer ends.
