His BIO is attached:
Alex Teece is co-founder and founding school leader of DreamHouse 'Ewa Beach, a leadership-focused Public Charter School opening this August. Alex came to Hawaii in 2008 through Teach For America and taught at Ilima Intermediate in 'Ewa Beach while earning a Masters Degree in Education from UH Mānoa. He then went on to get an MBA in finance and corporate accounting, worked on Wall Street for a summer, spent a semester abroad in Hong Kong studying international business, and eventually returned to Hawaii to get back into education and non-profit work. In 2012, a group of Teach For America teachers and community members got together and formed the idea to start DreamHouse. Since then, Alex has worked part-time, and eventually full-time on building this charter school. In 2015, Alex received a full scholarship to study school leadership and educational policy at Harvard University, and returned back to Hawai'i once again to begin DreamHouse. Aside from starting this school, he serves as acting Executive Director for DreamHouse's non-profit, is a full-time doctoral student at UH Mānoa studying educational leadership, and is getting married this June.
