“Carry the past, build the future.”
Sage is the steady soul who never forgets where we came from.
He’s the history keeper, the community connector, and the trusted guide helping every student understand the people, places, and paths that shaped us. With maps strapped to his back and stories in his heart, Sage leads kids on a journey through time from their local hometowns to the founding of the nation. He helps them see that honoring our roots is how we build something better. Sage shows kids that every trail tells a story, and they’re the next chapter.

Sage helps kids explore the stories of their communities, cities, and cultures. From Native lands and early settlers to neighborhood landmarks and family traditions, Sage reminds us that the past isn’t just something we read about it’s something we walk on every day. His mission: connect kids to where they’re from, so they can better understand where they’re going.
With big ears and a bigger heart, Sage listens to the voices that came before. He encourages students to talk with grandparents, veterans, librarians, and lifelong neighbors. These aren’t just interviews they’re living lessons. Sage teaches that our elders are archives, and their memories are maps to wisdom we can’t Google.
Sage makes sure no school gets left behind. Whether tucked into rural hills or overlooked in busy cities, every student deserves to feel seen and included. Sage advocates for underrepresented voices, celebrates school pride, and shows how every community matters not just the loudest or the wealthiest. He’s not flashy, but he’s fierce about fairness.
