As an educator and service member, Sgt. Fisher wanted to become part of something bigger and give back while furthering his education.

“I’ve been teaching various subjects for 9 years and coaching football and basketball”, said Fisher.

Some of his favorite moments in service have been working alongside a diverse group of individuals and embracing different experiences.

Fisher has also participated in National Guard State Partnership Program missions, where he was able to introduce and explain the importance of our equipment. Meeting soldiers from other countries was a highlight, as it allowed him to learn from them and strengthen NCNG partnerships.

He adds that this observance (American Education Week) is a way to honor and recognize the achievements of those who serve and pave the way. Currently, he is teaching in Charlotte, NC, at Albemarle Road Middle School.
