Mike Heiman graduated JDHS in 1990 as an aimless book nerd. He tried to break that mold by becoming an artilleryman in the Marine Corps during Desert Storm, and then a whitewater raft guide for about ten years. However, he was still unable to resist the siren’s call of books, D&D, and board games, so he went to college.

Mike has been an educator at the elementary, high school, and middle school levels over his past 20 years of teaching. He has been at Floyd Dryden for 18 years, teaching all grade levels and multiple subject matters during this time. This year, Mike will once again teach his passion – U.S. History to 8^th graders.

20 years! Why didn’t he retire this year? Well, he is the father of a three year-old son named Evan – sooo, retirement isn’t in the picture for a long, long time, and he’s quite happy about that. Mike’s passions today are just as nerdy (he still plays board games and D&D) but as a father, there is nothing he would rather do than ride bikes with Evan. Over the past three years, his love for children and students has grown in ways all parents understand. He looks forward to teaching these amazing and wonderful kiddos just as he does every year.
