==My Name is Dusten Keppner, I am currently teaching Spanish and CTE (Career and Technical Education) at Bonneville Junior High in Holladay, Utah. This is my fourth year teaching. In addition to working in the classroom, I coach the Soccer and Track & Field teams. I have had an interesting series of jobs and areas of employment throughout my life so far, ranging from a rifle instructor, to a graphic artist, to an audiovisual technician.== ==I grew up in Idaho; the night of high school graduation had me on a plane to a new job in Hawaii. After a few years I moved to New Mexico, and then to South America. I moved to Utah and started going to school at Brigham Young University. I have lived in Utah ever since 2003. While attending BYU I was a full time student, worked a full time night job, and at one point had three additional part time jobs to pay my way through. I now live in South Jordan with my wife and two kids, a 4-year-old little boy, and a 1 1/2-year-old little girl.== ==Aside from teaching and coaching, I work as a counselor at a residential youth behavioral center. I am working on my Master Degree in Curriculum Design with an emphasis in Technology that I should complete by the end of April 2011.==
