Hi, my name is Mike Ruecker.  I am originally from California and moved to Colorado in 2008.  At that time, I went back to school to pursue my special education teaching credential.  I began teaching at Odyssey Elementary as a special education teacher but now work as a resource teacher here at Falcon High School.  This year I will be teaching a transitions course as well as co-teaching in a number of math classes.  I am married with four young children and my wife is also a high school teacher in the district.  I love to travel, but I spend most of my time running my kids around to ice-skating and hockey.
