When you think of science, many think of genetics, evolution, or even how sound travels. Mr. Klaman, a biology and physical science teacher, has been educating students on these things for 22 years.

Prior to his time at Sheyenne, Klaman attended Dickinson State University for a year and later transferred to North Dakota State University (NDSU) where he completed his studies.

Before becoming a teacher, Mr. Klaman was interested in chemical engineering, but then chose a different path towards civil engineering. He made another switch to exercise science before finally landing on teaching.

With his experience in exercise science, Mr. Klaman used his athletic training degree at Cheney Middle School to help their athletic program.

If Mr. Klaman was not teaching, his dream job would be a food cart vendor. His reasoning behind this includes being able to travel around the city to see new places every week.

His love for traveling does not only involve being a theoretical food cart vendor. Mr. Klaman has visited many places, his favorites being New York City, Guatemala, and Banff, Canada.

Some of his other favorite things are reading, card games, and spending time with family at the lake. He describes his ideal day as a bright, sunny day on the water with a breeze light enough to cool the 85-degree air but still perfect for time on the boat. As the day winds down, it would be wrapped up with a campfire and some hotdogs to roast.
