My name is Ben Treml I grew up in Green Bay, Wisconsin and am an avid fan of their football team, the Green Bay Packers. I also enjoy keeping up with the UW-Madison (my alma mater) football team, the Badgers, and baseball games played by the Milwaukee Brewers. When I play sports I prefer to play soccer. Besides sports, I love exploring all of the great parks around Ithaca with my wife and my dog. The thing from home that I have missed most since coming to Ithaca is deep fried cheese curds. That may sound weird, but it isn'tisn’t, they are delicious. Thankfully, a restaurant near my house has started serving "Wisconsin Style" “Wisconsin Style” deep fried cheese curds. My wife and I like to take credit for this because we had a conversation with one of the chef's chef’s at the restaurant this fall while watching a Packer game and mentioned cheese curds to him.

Teaching seems to run in my blood – my grandmother, mother, aunt, and wife have had careers in education. Even though I'm I’m an engineer I find that I really enjoy really enjoy working with kids trying to inspire them to follow my path towards a career in a STEM field. I am excited to participate in the GK12 program because I believe it will give me a great opportunity to share my experiences.
