John Richter - Advisor

Personal Note:

I have lived in Southwest Wisconsin all my life. After graduating from Wauzeka/Steuben High School, I attended the University of Wisconsin Platteville where I earned a degree in elementary education. After college I continued living in Platteville while working to earn my special education teaching license.

I was able to spend the next 20 years in public education as a special education teacher, as well as an elementary behavior specialist. Those experiences have given me a love for helping and supporting students.

Today I am excited to be part of the Southwest Tech community. I look forward to guiding students as they work to meet their goals and reach their potential.
