All About Matt Hartz:

P-TECH Business & Industry Liaison & Health Teacher at TST BOCES, P-TECH

1.  What brings you joy in your life?

Witnessing new experiences really brings me joy. I have two kids, and seeing them having new and exciting experiences is one of my favorite things in the world.



2.  What's a fun, unexpected thing about you that would surprise your colleagues and the students?


I have been known to rock some Backstreet Boys karaoke with my friends. Although I don’t want anyone to get any ideas, I am retired from karaoke!

3.  What inspires you?


New improvements. Anything that is new that provides the possibility for growth or improvement really inspires me. I love learning new things, so seeing the possibility of mastering a new skill is really exciting.
