Robert Fix

Greetings, 
I serve Jesus Christ, and my name is Robert Fix.  

I have been a classroom teacher of History for the last 30 years but got my start as a presenter, reenactor and experiential historian around the age of 5. I am the founder and director of Lessons to Last, Inc. Historical Consultants and Educational Resource Library and a pioneer in using the Multi-Sensory Approach to teaching History.  

I have 42 active hobbies, which include backpacking, camping, wilderness survival, Native American crafts and lore, historical presentations, reenacting and teaching, woodworking and other historical arts and crafts, cooking, writing poetry, and playing the bagpipes. I was one of the re-enactors (as John Colter) with the National Lewis and Clark Expedition Bicentennial 2004-06 with the Discovery Expedition of St. Charles, MO. I took part in the 200^th anniversary reenacted battle of New Orleans in 2015. 

I believe it is my calling and responsibility to teach students the depth of their history, the value of their country, and the lessons of the founding fathers and mothers. I teach of the sacrifices and struggles that brought them to this current time and to see the past in a different light. I want them to find how their pasts all relate to one another from across the ages. To do this, I strive to create a learning environment in which my students will feel safe, secure, and protected enough to explore, grow, and learn the lessons of the past, the needs of our society, and the workings of the world around us. My constant goal is to give my students the opportunities to see, feel, hear, taste, and emote the stories of our past and to relate them to the here and now. 

It is an honor to join this family and contribute to the educational adventure of St. Mary’s students.
