"The technology you use impresses no one. The experience you create with it is everything." – Sean Gerety

Personal and Professional Background

I began my journey as a certified mechanic, getting my hands dirty and learning the ins and outs of machinery. My skill set took to the skies when I joined the U.S. Army to specialize in helicopter electronics. There, I not only honed my technical expertise but also developed strong leadership qualities. Post-Army life led me to engineering school, where I deepened my understanding of how things work on a theoretical level. Finally, I transitioned into IT, merging my hands-on skills with tech-savvy acumen. This unique blend of experiences has equipped me with a holistic view of technology, from the grease on the gears to the code on the screen.

What do you feel makes Butler Catholic special?

What sets Butler Catholic apart for me is its multifaceted approach to education. Our faculty and staff are exceptional, dedicated to cultivating 'self-motivated leaders, humble stewards, and life-long learners.' Their commitment is palpable and genuinely contributes to the unique atmosphere here.

Beyond the people, it's the innovative learning opportunities that really elevate the Butler Catholic experience. Our students benefit from an array of hands-on learning activities you won't find just anywhere. From tending our outdoor garden to diving into interactive technology, we provide diverse ways for students to engage with the world around them. Whether they're programming in a coding class, brainstorming in our maker spaces, or designing a project with our robotics kits, our students are given the tools to explore, create, and lead.
