At the high school level, he has “experience teaching Wood Manufacturing, Metal Manufacturing, Digital Photography, Robotics, Engineering, Bioengineering, Electronics, and Digital Design.” His further education includes an M.Ed in Technology Education from Millersville University (2013) and an M.S.E. in STEM Education from Lebanon Valley College (2017). He also has several awards to his name, including the 2006 Henry J. Kaufman Award in Metal Technology and the 2006 J. Richard Steinmetz Technology Teaching Award, both from Millersville University, and was 2010’s Outstanding Regional Vice President of the Technology and Engineering Education Association of Pennsylvania. Farmer describes himself as a “maker at heart,” both inside and outside the classroom; he even has a “full blacksmith shop” at his house. Beyond creating, he also enjoys many outdoor activities including camping, hunting, and fishing.
