Mr. Tuomey started working at an elementary before and after school program in the early 1980s.

The best thing for Mr. Tuomey being a teacher is the connection he had with his children, being around for summers, evenings, snow days. On a professional level he enjoys fostering the enthusiasm for science and all that powers that offers students. He lived in Fort Worth, Texas. His goal for teaching science is to teach the students how to have fun doing science. When he was little he wanted to be a game warden which is a Natural Resource Police. He owned a running shoe specialty store back in Texas that is still in business that has expanded to three cities in north Texas. This makes him proud that his business model worked so well.  If Mr. Tuomey wasn’t a teacher he would have enjoyed being in a trained trade like a plumber or electrician or mechanic. Other than teaching He had worked in the swimming pool industry for twenty six years and this allowed him to apply lots of those skills.

Mr. Tuomey also has two United States patents for mechanical devices. In his free time he enjoys maintaining his fitness through weights and running, as well as swimming. Mr. Tuomey swam competitively for eleven years. Also he has a well equipped workshop and loves to work on wood projects as well as working one one of his five vehicles in the household, since he has so many cars he tries to work on maintenance and repairs to try and save money. Mr. Tuomey wants to teach students to do the experiments so they can recreate them in the future.
