Richard Martino
Accomplished Teacher

Overview

Born the son of a high school teacher, Richard Martino has been immersed in education and teaching since birth. He learned early in life that, to be an effective leader, one must first be an effective teacher. Some of his proudest accomplishments as a teacher have been:

  • St. Petersburg College Math Teacher.
  • Webster College Computer Teacher
  • St. Petersburg Catholic High School Math Teacher
  • Paradyne Corporation Network Instructor
  • Toastmasters International Seminar Leader
  • Tutor of math, physics & chemistry

In addition to being an accomplished teacher, he is also a dynamic leader and a software guru.

Rebuttal

To rebut the commonly heard opinion, "Those who can, do; those who cannot, teach," I proffer for your serious consideration:

    Those who can do.
    Those who can teach do better.
