Mike Roman, FBEA Social Media Coordinator

Mike Roman - Gorman Heritage Farm, Education Manager and Camp Director

Mike attended the FBEA conference in 2007, loved the energy and passion of everyone he met and wanted to help continue building upon the conference. To that end, he has worked with Brooke Redmond over the past two years to establish an online presence for the FBEA. Mike first worked at Gorman Heritage Farm as an agricultural intern, camp counselor, and office assistant during the summers of 2002-2004. He also taught children music at local parochial grade schools for four years, during which time he was nominated for the Classic for Kids Applause Award to recognize a local elementary school music teacher for excellence in the classroom.

He has spent the last three years at GHF building the school field trip program and summer camp program to be a leader in education. He was recently nominated for the Merlin G. Pope, Jr. Diversity Leadership Award for his work integrating GHF’s land-based education programs into local schools.

He is committed to making the Farm-Based Education Association an excellent place for people to learn about food, farming and care of our world.
