Having spent the first 25 years of his life shying away from public speaking, Dr. Fisher was thrown into a classroom and directed to teach. He found the process intriguing. After completing a doctoral degree in learning theory and program evaluation, the prospect of engaging students became quite exciting. Since then, Dr. Fisher has lead cadaver labs at Northeastern University, taught adventure education to middle schoolers at St. Andrews-Sewanee School and most recently, assisted with athletic training and rehabilitation sciences education here at UIW.
