Mr. Andress is in his eighth year at Erin in 2011 - 2012, after teaching eleven years at Unity Middle School in Balsam Lake, Wisconsin.  He teaches seventh and eighth grade Spanish, and a class called Cross Curricular Connections (which includes introductory Spanish) with 6th graders.  He is also the school's Athletic Director, 8th grade Basketball coach, serves on the Leadership Team and is the Spanish Club facilitator. He is also the Girls Varsity Tennis Coach at Hartford Union High School.

"Teaching is a great responsibility, one that I take very seriously.  It is awesome to work with children that have various interests and needs.  I make it my goal every year to reach every student and help them improve as a person and as a Spanish student.  I have very high expectations of myself and of my students.  Having fun while learning is my preferred method of engaging the students everyday.  Students are told up front that if they cooperate and participate in class they will probably enjoy class and be successful in it. I look forward to another fun and exciting school year!"

Mr. Andress graduated from Oconomowoc High School in 1989, received his Bachelor of Science - Education Degree from the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater in 1993 and his Master's Degree in Teaching and Learning from St. Mary's University in Winona, Minnesota in 2001.
