Welcome to the second year of VMS!  I hope you had a great summer and are excited to be a Kodiak! My name is Zak Porter and I am so excited to be at Victory with you this year.  I am teaching 6th grade math and 7th grade honors math.  A little bit about me: I grew up in California and moved up to Idaho to go to Boise State.  I studied elementary education and am endorsed in mathematics, meaning I am highly qualified to teach math up to 9th grade.  I love the outdoors, especially when I am backpacking, surfing the river, mountain biking, skateboarding, fishing, and snowboarding.  I also love photography and videography, and actually am a small business owner shooting peoples weddings in the summer.  My wife and I have been married for just over a year and love to travel, hang with our dogs, our church and Young Life community, and our family.   I am so excited to learn more about you and your family as we push through this year together!
