Adam W. Metzler

Currently, I am happily employed at M.S.A.D. #42 in Mars Hill, Maine and not looking for other employment opportunities. This site is a collection place for all of my professional experiences. I teach grades 5-12 instrumental music, run the pep band, and coach the varsity golf and volleyball teams. In addition to coaching, I am the districts Technology Director and the only on-site technology support person so I maintain all the school technology which includes repairs and working with staff.

I also advise the communications club and they DJ all the school dances. They also learn about other audio skills including how to podcast, create electronic music, live performance sound setups, studio recording, and anything else related to audio.

Professionally I play trumpet with a number of local groups including the Star City Syndicate, Northern Maine Chamber Society Orchestra, and the UMPI/Community Band.
