My name is Blake Garces and I would like to start out by saying how grateful I am to start my journey with WSCC. I was born and raised in New York City and joined the Marine Corps shortly after high school. After my military service, I knew I always wanted to be a teacher and begin that journey in my life and I never looked back since then. I have been in the Early Childhood Education field for 13 years now and can proudly say that this is my passion and motivation in life. I have lived in Colorado now for four years and love every bit of it! I enjoy camping, hiking and going to drive in movies. My mother and my family are my biggest inspiration and now so is WSCC : ). I am open to any questions that you all may have and I look forward to meeting everyone! Thank you!
